Ok, I've plumped for that Vittoria Creed 650b wheelset from planet x for £99. Is there anything particularly awful about these that I should steer clear of? It would have to be particularly awful at that price to be fair as these are an intro wheelset for me.

edit at 325mm from axle as mentioned by @pryally I measure 49.8mm. Too small for horizons right? I don't fully understand the effect the rim width has but will the 21mm internal Vittoria Creed make the tyre wider at its fattest point than the diagram above?

I'm in well above my head!

49.8 > 47 ..

so should be ok, you'd be gambling though ..

My 1.75" 27.5 gravel king on DT Swiss 466D come in at 40mm. Lovely tyres for the money! Almost identical to the pricey compass tyres I have and lighter (and wider) then GB Hetre.

good find, I think I'll order some for my moots as I don't think the hozizons will fit and these are much cheaper! I'm going to set mine up tubeless - I assume you've used tubes?

I thought Gravel King was a Conti brand.

Have the lawyers not been alerted yet?
