The Aero Wide uses Kinlin XR31T rims, which are excellent and my default alloy rim of choice. However, the 4 seasons have a higher spoke count and the spokes are chunkier too. For commuting and couriering I'd go for the 4 seasons.

Mavic Aksiums, done nearly 15,000 miles of courier work on them
I am not sure what qualities I should really be looking for in a wheelset that will be used for commuting/courier work all year round
At a guess, I'd say wheels with Mavic stickers on the hubs and Aksium stickers on the rims 😀
I don't think spending more than twice as much on Hunt is going to get you any more durability, still less twice as much.

Thank you for the replies.
Now I am just trying to decide between the Aero Wide Race (£379) or the cheaper 4Season Aero (£319).
Both are the same width, Aero Wide Race have a 3mm deeper rim and 24 spoked rear vs 28 of the 4 season, Aero Wide also has straight pull spokes front and rear.
Anyone able to offer opinion on the two? I am not sure what qualities I should really be looking for in a wheelset that will be used for commuting/courier work all year round.
