Any rim with an interior beadseat width greater than 21mm should work. Something like the 700c 48h Sun Rhyno Lite or the Rhyno Lite XL would be an excellent choice. The Rhyno Lite is has a 22mm beadseat width and is one of the more popular tandem rims. The Rhyno Lite XL was originally built for BMX & downhill racing and is offered in a 700c that is incredibly stout and wide enough for even a 50mm tire with an interior beadseat width of 23.5mm.

TandemsEast.com stocks them both.
