How do you like the quattros? I read somewhere that they are a handful in crosswind, which I find hard to believe given their relatively shallow depth.
Hovis-
They are not the lightest. But I got them as a bullet proof winter wheel and at around £200 they were a good price for a branded wheel.
No problems with crosswinds, as you say the profile is not that deep.
I run a 25mm tyres and they fit well but as with all Fulcrums they are a tight fit in the first instance.
They are coming into their second winter and I've done nothing to them over the summer and they are sweet.
There is a CX version with double bearing covers if you are worried at all about water ingress but I've seen none on mine.
Just to say a short valve is just not long enough to be able to fit a pump on even though it is visible. Lesson learned while on a very cold and wet ride.
I also put a little tape around the valve to stop it rattling against the rim.

Just to add the the Fulcrum/Campag piece on second hand availability...
I run Fulcrum Racing Quattro (the £200 set not the full carbon jobbies) when it's completely nasty - These won't be going onto the second hand market. I'm gonna run them into the ground and no-one will want a wheelset as shredded as these will be.
I also have the Fulcrum Racing 3 two way fit. I run these for when the weather is not biblical in tubeless mode. It is highly unlikely these will go onto the second hand market, they are great and I'll run these 'till they drop too.
My Fulcrum Racing zero I run tubeless, these are lovely too and see me around on sunny days or those big events. These may appear on the second hand market as I try to shave 10g off my bike weight ready for the next 'once in a lifetime event'.
So on this basis I'll keep my cheap wheels forever but chop and change my Sunday best wheels so they always look Sunday best.
