What? After I just publicly agreed with you!
No I agree again, I doubt the rims are the issue here.
I would also suggest that you stay away from steel rims of any kind. Steel is a nightmare if you ride in the wet. An aluminum rim performs much better and, as a bonus, is much lighter. They can be built just as strong.
I also agree with this.
