Okay, so I've pretty much outfitted my current commuter (2011 Kona Dr. Fine) with all the gear I like. I've heard a lot of talk on here about how great various rims are on various bikes, and a friend with more experience told me that good rims can be more important than even the frame.

Do you agree with that? If so, what would be an ultimate commuter rim that would improve upon the stock Freedom Ryder rims that come with the Kona Dr. Fine (and the Norco Ceres and others, I think)?

I use 32 tires and really like that middle ground between too thin and too wide for my type of commute (asphalt suburban streets, 18 miles roundtrip).
