SJS Cycles has 700c Rigida Grizzly CSS (carbide) rims here:
http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/rigida-gr...ack-prod18886/

This is a 610g, 622 X 19 rim, but lacks the ability of the 520g Deep-V to carry the heat away from the brake track. Obviously any rim generates the same amount of heat for the same amount of stopping force. These rims won't wear like standard rims, but they may not keep your tires on any better, either. Still, they look to be heavy enough for a tandem or touring rim.
