Chris King good decision, mind you mine need regular servicing so make sure you know somebody who does this.
Changing from open pro to HED Ardennes was very noticeable in ride quality. So get the HED Belgiums Plus, probably the closest but a bit cheaper DT Swiss R460; or the Pacenti if you are good at changing tyres.

The 105s are fine, but I' aiming a bit higher than that. I'm considering old-style DA, but ideally I'd like something brand new.
@mdcc_tester yes all those benefits make sense, except for rolling resistance; surely a wider rim would result in a larger area of tyre in contact with the road?
To put all this in context, I'm replacing a set of RS80 C24s, which are around £350, and I have found them fast and reliable, but they are pretty fugly. My budget for a wheelset this time is around £600 (possibly more if I go for Chris King)
