I recently built a pair of wheels with Pacenti rims. I chose them for lighter weight. I haven't ridden them yet, so no report on durability or anything.
Velocity rims get good reviews. There are also other models of Sun rims, such as the M13 or some such. I think those are lighter than the CR18.
Velo Orange also makes handsome vintage-esque rims.
Yeah, those V-O rims do look nice. I hadn't included the M13 because its 13 mm inner diameter probably rules out wide tires.
