I recently was out of Kinlin XR 300 and bought a pair of Halo Mercury rims from Wynstanleys and they sent me a 24 16:8 drilled.. I sent it back because it was not what I wanted... maybe you could try and retrieve that route? Problem is their website doesn't seem to be very clear on that, unless they have amended it since. Worth a look, they are very decent rims
EDIT: website is now amended...

Yeah did so just after, response was "The holes are slightly offset, not enough to make a 16:8 build impossible, but also not ideal".
Think I'll give it a miss then and stick with 12:12 or maybe move up to a 28h rear. Don't want to have nipples sitting at a nasty angle and it seems centre drilled 23mm wide rims do not exist.
