Not the biggest fan myself. Have a pair of Aerodynamicst 34 alu wheels. Yes they're road and I did email Hunt for their advice on taking it on gravel for one or two light rides and they said they should cope fine, but not ideal.
Defo not blaming them, but on the first ride they took a dent just descending on some gravelly single-track. No tubeless failure as a result though. Also, when mounting tyres with a plastic tyre lever, the contact points of the levers also left dimples on the wheels.
Granted, that is specific to this wheelset (heard great things about 4 seasons and others) which is meant to be a mid-depth, lightweight, alu road wheel, but the experience still left me a bit dissappointed.

Recommendations for a budget gravel wheelset? Im thinking Hunt 4 seasons gravel although Hunt seems to get a bad rep on here or DT Swiss g1400/1600/1800 (although I haven’t really worked out what the difference is between the 3 options).
Or am I missing a trick and there are other options out there?
They are going on my alu Spesh Diverge E5 and I tend to attack the trails with an 85kg MTB attitude so can be quite unforgiving on wheels.
