looking for rims for a Giant Boulder SE

I'm looking for a set of black rims that matches the stock rims off of a 09 Giant Boulder SE. Rim brake (non disc), black. Numbers on the original rims are ETRTO 559x26. I looked on nashbar and performance bike, but "I" didn't see any. I want to get as close as I can to the original width so I don't have to adjust the brakes everytime I switch rims.

hence the reason why I want to get a set as close to the original as possible. If not, not that much of a problem. I picked up a set of tire levers and tried them out after the original post and found out I can swap tires faster than adjusting brakes.

I have the small frame 09 boulder se... Just picked up some Mavic SUP 121 rims... Super solid. I recommend them and can't wait to get a matching front wheel too. Picked them up same day I converted to Single gear... 4-5 foot drops= no problem.

ar, places like jensonusa.com, cambriabike, and so forth have a better selection of wheels and better prices than nashbar/performance.

Lots of good links at https://www.spadout.com/c/mountain-biking/
