Steve of Hardtail Party on YouTube swears by a few premium name brand rims that are more compliant. He thinks it matters more on a hard tail. In the next breath he will say it's fine to use the harsher ones (which includes all the Chinese ones) on full suspension bikes. I'm not convinced, it seems like a real princess and pea situation when you consider the tire. Maybe it's more NVH than performance per se.
