If you've got the dosh, the Taiwanese carbon rims seem to be doing OK. Teammate of mine has a set (not built up) that look pretty good.
While the wider rims thing sounds good, make sure ALL the wheels you're going to use on the bike are the same. I have one pair of A23s that are hanging till spring cause its a PITA to adjust the cantis on the bike they go on back and forth between wide and narrow rims.

This is really good advise but if it turns into an issue get some brakes that have a barrel adjuster built into the canti arm.
