best I can think of: http://www.boydcycling.com/2016-28mm-clincher-wheel-set/

it doesn't have the toroidal/firecrest style shape, but it has the shallow/light/strong thing down. might be lighter than latest gen FC 202, actually.

Reynolds Attack? I don't know how aero they are though

I'm on Bontrager Aeolus 3s now, and think they're great. DT 240 hubs and a rim profile that (according to them) is more aero than 202s

Yup, email this gent. The wheel he will design will be better made, have a better hub and not be subject to a recall..maybe cheaper too. BUT even if about the same $, far better build, components, 'company'.

still recommend the boyds. there is a tub version...
