I think that's actually what it was for... every other pic I was able to google up was labelled with current, etc...

BTW, ever notice how left-hand threads appear steeper? Funny things, brains...

use laterally-stiff rims. For the same weight, box-section rims are stronger laterally than aero rims.
Oh yeah, another way to strengthen the wheel by using a certain sort of rim occurs to me - use an OCR to reduce dish. Prolly more effective... although a box-section rim on the rear would also improve comfort a bit over an aero one...
