The thing with rims is this: how wide should rims really be to accommodate those 2"-2.35" tires? The Sun Rhyno's get great reviews at the price point, and are 29 mm wide - is that wide enough? Is wider better? Surly makes the Large Marge, which is a whopping 65 mm across - why would someone want such large rims? Spokes and hubs are easy - but I'd have to say figuring out rims has been my greatest challenge!
You want 65mm rims for 100mm tires like they run on a Pugsely snow bike.

I'm running a Mavic EN321 with a 2.0" marathon XR works great.
