People rave about the quality of Easton and HED rims (same factory IIRC).
Given that we are now in the disc era and you shouldn't wear them out unless you ride very aggressively, you could treat yourself?! A lot of money though.

Otherwise what about Stan's Grail Mk3 or Crest Mk3, depending on whether you want the flexibility to use road pressures or not?
Thanks, did look at he Grail, but it's on the skinny side (20mm internal)

What are some good rim options - ideally 22-24mm internal, not too heavy.
- DT GR 531 (24mm internal, 535g)

535g if you are very lucky... Mine came in at more like 575g. Seem pretty solid so far but you'd bloody hope so at that weight!
oof, that's not good to hear

Anyone riding Duke World Runner 25s? They look an ok compromise.

I have the HED Belgium Plus G and they are amazing as well as hooked. They are the updated version of the original Belgium Plus for gravel/offroad. Internal width is 25mm. Total weight is nearly identical with the CK hubs to the Enve 4.5AR which provides no aero benefit with greater than 32mm tires. Never had an issue setting these up tubeless either.
