This thread is quite encouraging as I'd read some BMC on the Matrix rims elsewhere. I grabbed a Titan set outta my friends bone pile, back back in December, to try on my winter project Crescent. Decent looking but untrue and he was not going to invest the time and effort to try a rescue. Both needed hub overhauls and a few new cones. The rear was all wobbly but, after fully de-tensioning everything and starting over has come into true quite nicely. These are the gray ano box rims, mildly aero with eyelets. I'm looking forward to the ride. This will be the first 23c tired ride I've had in ages.

BTW the rear wheel (no tire, tube nor FW) weighs a bit more than a comparable tubular rimmed wheel - but only the weight of a QR scewer. I'll not be able to notice the difference.
