Sizing rim strips?
Recently purchased Sun M13 II rims, listed as 622 x 13mm inside & 20mm outside
Do I need to find a 13mm rim strip? or will 14 mmm work?
TIA

i use those rims, and either of your choices above will work fine.
i prefer 10mm, though. (cotton tape from ebay.) there's little reason to use too much tape.
my lbs only stocks one size, and, if i'm in a hurry, i will just use whatever they have.
i think 14mm will creep up the rim wall, but won't touch the lip if you center it properly.

If you wanted to cheap out, 1/2" rim strips would work, but I don't like them for high pressure tires.
