So I have ZTR crest rims on my bike, but overtime I've started using 2.4 tires. The 24.4mm rims are definitely not a good match, Can't lower the pressure much because starts to fold to the sides in short corners.
I'm looking for alternatives for wider rims but still light and affordable as the Crest. Any suggestions? perhaps something around 30mm rims would work great with my 2.4 tires?

Perhaps Ryde Trance Enduro? They are 29mm wide (interior) and about the same price as the Stan's. However they are a bit heavier, I think they should be around 460g in 650b, which is the lightest and widest for an aluminium rim what I saw. Those will be probably my next rim, just waiting for more real world reviews.

ZTR Flow would suite, but a fair bit heavier than your crests!

Like drider85 mentioned, I've been looking at the American Classic Wide Lightning. Around $800 if you look around, 30mm wide internal, and 1570 grams.
If I can stretch the budget I will be getting the new Nox Composite Farlow 29 carbon rims. 29mm internal, 1600 grams, but basically double the price depending on hub choice.
As freeriderxy suggested, I may just try the cheap chinese carbons, but just not 100% sold on those at the moment??
