Rims for light riders

I’m a 120lb rider and I was looking for new rims for my 27.5 mountain bike. Not looking for anything too expensive just wondering what’s out there, thank you

What's your budget? Are you looking for tubeless ready? Boost, non-Boost? QR or thru-axles? I'd look at Stans, Crank Brothers, or Shimano--I've had good experience with all three. They, and most all brands, offer a wide range to fit most budgets. Being 120 lbs. allows you to run some pretty light XC hoops unless you're jumping or full-on DH'ing.

How about these Race Face Aeffect 27.5" Wheelset | Jenson USA
the Aeffect wheels are very light for non-carbon wheels.
