^^Exactly what I was thinking. Haven't priced them out, I don't really think it matters in this case. I can't see carbon wheels costing more than a whole separate road bike (for which I have no room anyways).

Lol, you are in for a shock.
Wheelsets are the single priciest component in high end bikes. Even $5000 carbon road bikes usually use barely mid-range aluminum wheel sets.
A decent carbon wheel set sets you back around $3000

Hand built, custom tubular sets could hit $10k not so long ago, but with carbon prices coming down in recent years, you would probably max out around $5-6k for a top end set.
