Unless you are going against the clock (tri/TT), deep wheels are mostly an aesthetic thing. In a road race you should be in the draft most of the time. The real gains from an extra twenty mm in depth are quite small. If I see someone riding 808s in a pack, I stay away from them; I don’t trust that they’ll hold a line.
Bontrager and Roval make nice 30mm rims. The Fulcrum Racing Speed 35 is also really nice.
Make sure that frame has clearance for a shape like a Firecrest.
