I appreciate the suggestion. Too bad these don't come in all silver. I
really don't like black rims, at least on my Ram...

If you want heavier/stronger ones, I can't say enough good things
about Velocity Dyads:

I have a 2007 Rambouillet. It came stock with Araya 540 rims and
Shimano 105 hubs (as did many, if not most Romuli). They've been
decent, sturdy wheels. Not to heavy, stayed true, etc. Today I
had a fall (not a crash) which resulted in warping the rim. I was
able to put the wheel on a truing stand and get it fairly back to
normal after about 30 minutes of messing with it, but I noticed
that four or five of the ferrules on the drive side spokes look to
be slightly uprooted from the incident, so the rim is permanently
compromised. I'm sure I could ride it for thousands more miles
without incident; but, I've always thought about "upgrading" to
theoretically better rims. I don't really want all new wheels, so
I'm thinking of doing rim swaps on my wheels. So...
Anybody have any recommendations for rims you've used that you're
super happy with, or notice some ethereal improvement in
performance, braking etc. that I should consider? In doing a rim
swap, I'd be attempting to keep the spokes as-is, so a very
similar profile would be in order. Rim reviews are always highly
variable, but as RBW Owners Bunch members, your experiences and
bikes might be more similar to my usage than, say, the carbonated
racers or extreme downhillers.
