Could you elaborate, how to determine if the wheel is good to run 28mm? I have set of Ron wheels on my TT bike and DT Swiss Arc1400, the 28mms tyres fit well, but I am not sure if it is the right choice to win on the rolling resistance.
Assuming it's a deep rim, the issue is if it was designed around 28mm tires from an aero perspective. For example, I have some HED J6 wheels, and they were designed around 23mm tires (you can run 25mm with a small aero penalty, and 28mm with a bigger one).
Looking at the RON V6 wheel, it's an 18mm inner rim width (25 outer), and will be faster with a 23mm tire than a 25.
For the rear wheel the combination if it being less important aerodynamically and bearing more weight (so more rolling resistance) than the front tips the advantage towards using a 28.
