more budget conscious with killer hubs would be DT's Spline M1700 650b. Only 19.5mm inner rim width though
More bling, more $$ and wider rim choices put you up into the Spline 1 sets... with 20, 22.5 or massive 25mm inner rim widths!
Tubeless on wide rims with high volume tyres are where its at! Apparently
Pacenti TL28 rims on superstar switch or Tesla hubs with big tyres, sorted.
Budget?
32h Stan's Crest with X-12 DT 350 rear hub and 15mm maxle Hope 2, with D-Light spokes are doing me wonderfully. Set up tubeless with 2.25 Nobby Nic's and they are light and stiff. On my PYGA OneTwenty with 140 Rev's.
Enjoying my hope hoops with stans arch ex rims very much on my tracer 275.
£300 budget really, could dip more into the savings if need be though 🙂
Has to be hope proII on Arch EXs.
Light, strong and good value.
Hope hoops with an arch for trail riding, reasonable light nice and strong and good rim width
Some 26" ones, like a real mountain bike 😉
Those light bicycle carbon rims have got my interest.
Have you got a link please onza? 😀 can't justify enve rims
Don't seem to be able to do that from my phone but gee had a thread going on here a couple of days ago.

they do full builds too.
Cheers Andy !
Cheers for the info people. those light bicycle rims look cool, and laced to hope hubs would be ace. and after a quick bit of maths i rekon 400 quid gets all the bits then pay some one to lace them up. hmm they may just be out of reach 🙁
went for hope hubs on stans arch ex rims in the end. they turned up yesterday and look mint with gold hubs. very light and well made by neil up at moonglu
I just got a 650b Lefty wheelset. Nice Pacenti DL28 rims.
