What's wrong with the OP's question, peeps? There are plenty of options that fall within the parameters he specified.

But if you have noticed how many threads he has started addressing the same wheel purchase it gets silly in a big hurry.

Easy to do with a 40 spoke rim and hub, laced triplet style. Use three holes on the rim and skip one. Use 20 holes on the DS of the hub and 10 holes on the NDS. Skip every other hole on the hub. Done and done.
I have done this with a 32 hole hub and rim to give a 24 spoke wheel. No reason it can't be done with a 40 hole rim and hub to give a 30 spoke wheel or any rim and hub with holes evenly divisible by four.

I got a deal on some Alex wheels for riding in slop. They are the worst pieces of crap I've ridden that's above department store quality. I can't wait until I chew the rims up enough to justify replacing them.
