According to the product specialist

Pros
These wheels definitely win the beauty award for their shiny carbon rims and simplicity in decals.
Due to the rim height of 40mm, the Wind 40C wheels are very versatile; high enough for aerodynamic advantage, but low enough for use on windy roads.  
The sealed industrial bearings in these wheels run smoothly and at the same time are well sealed against water and dirt.
If you're looking for lighter weight, improved aerodynamics and good braking performance, this is the way to go.
The aluminium brake track offers optimal stopping power under all conditions.
The Cup Cone bearings are extremely durable and easy to maintain.
Compared to their predecessors, these wheels have far fewer decals, giving them a cleaner look.

Cons
These wheels cannot be made tubeless.
The carbon braking surface makes this wheel less suitable for long mountain descents with the risk of a blowout or rim deformation.
Due to the aluminium brake rim, these wheels are quite heavy compared to other wheels in their price range.
The internal rim width hasn't been updated, and is fairly narrow at 15 mm.
