Rhyno Lites are very tough but not the easiest rim to mount a tire on. If all of your riding is on the road they might be a little overkill.
Have to admit that my riding is offroad- but MY feeling is that I wouuld rather use overkill on weight and strength on wheels- than have a wheel fail on me at speed. Now as to the mounting of tyres on the rhino lites- That is a tight rim.

I used the rhino lites and could not destroy them- they were good but 2,000 miles of Offroading with V Brakes and the brake area got too thin for comfort. Now have disc brakes.
