I am considering these two (based purely on price and their double-walledness), and have no knowledge/experience about/with either:
Rigida Zac 19
vs.
Mavic A 119
Sun CR18 are the ones I've used, and they're great! About $27/each from Airbomb or some such place. They're double-walled and meant for 30-40 mm tires. They come in 32,36, or 40H drillings I believe.
I thought about trying the Alex Adventurer or Alex DM18 but many people of BF suggested they had had issues with Alex rims. I don't have any personal experience with them, but they do look attractive from the specs and price.
