Glad to hear you're liking those Weinmanns. The only thing I'll say is I'm not impressed with the coating/anodizing on the new silver Weinmann rims. They often come from the factory with a weird haze, looking rather cheap compared to Weinmanns from only a couple years ago. I've seen this on 519s, ZAC30s, DP18s, etc. YMMV.
I got to true a Sun CR-18 over the weekend; that seems like a quality rim.
