Yes, the Williams is carbon and Hed Aluminum.

  
Ultimately it is up to you to decide. Check the websites and see how wide the wheels and if they will fit your bike. Some bikes like the early Cervelo P4 had narrow chain stays or rear brakes and some wide wheels will not fit. Also, some carbon rim wheels require special brake pads, the Hed probably do not unless the black coating requires them. I think that the Williams wheels have a v shape rim whereas the Hed are more blunt. I don't think that you can go wrong with either wheel set, perhaps the Hed have better resale value if later on you decide to sell them.

I just bought a new set Hed wheels and I am very happy with them.

I have a set of carbon wheels and a set of Hed wheels...like the Heds better as they are stronger and I don't have to change pads...simple...

Other than weight and the all carbon "cool factor" I can't think of any situation where the Williams wheels would perform better. I think the HEDs are probably more aero, have better cross-wind stability, better braking, better durability, better ride quality....

Not that the Williams wheels are not nice, it is just that the HEDs are some of the best wheels out there.

I use to have the clincher all carbon 85 mm Williams. Nice set, no issues just a tad heavy..... Sold it with my old TT and got some Zipps with the new bike....

I went back and looked at the Tour wi d tunnel results. The jet 60 plus pretty much killed the 404s on an S5 and had some of the lowest drag numbers.

Thanks

Thanks for all the input, it was a difficult decision to make but after talking it over with many people I decided to go with Williams 85's.

Great choice! I hope you like them. I just bought the same wheels. I plan to take them out for a 50 mile spin Friday morning.

Here is my bike with the Williams 85's on it.

Looks nice Josh!

That's very neat fitting of the behind the seat bottle onto an Adamo seat....
the X-Lab that I got to fit the Adamo Attack, which has an angled rear rails ( yours are vertical ) means the rack is quite a way behind the seat.....
I'll see if I can change it to the way yours is set. thank you.
also, you're not using the ST approved Conti Tyres.... more power to you, Michelin Pro are sweet, as are Schwalbe Ones ( which I use )

BTW, the wheels look great.

With the way I was able to set my Adamo seat up I was able to tuck the X-lab nicely right up to the seat. On my old bike, Cervelo P2sl, it was a little further back. I almost went with the Conti's but I have ridden both Michelin and Conti's before and liked both. I looked around and I got a better deal on the Micheline Pro 4 Service Course tires at 25mm wide. Ill be taking it out for our local TT tonight so we will see how she rides then.
