Cheers @miro_o , I was spying the synergy, I'll have to see if I can hunt a pair down from somewhere.

Bit late reply but my experience with VO Diagonale has been great; if I am right even @miro_o has them too. Mine are laced onto 5800 hubs; they are heavy and reliable but at 64kg I wouldn't mind lesser spoke count than 32h; all silver looks classy though. I have done 1556 miles on them according to strava and there is hardly any rim wear. Swisstop blue pads too.
650b conversion is a great thing; it will completely transform the traditional road bike into something much more enjoyable. The only con I can think of is slightly shit braking due to long drop callipers; something I can live with. I bought all 650b stuff from VeloVitality. I use Grand Bois Hetre 42mm.
I am currently selling this as whole bike. I have couple of queries for frameset if you are keen on wheels I can think about splitting.

Velocity made a rim called the Synergy but it seems hard to get over here.
VO make a polished-finish 25mm-wide rim called the Diagonale which FreshTripe stock.
Pacenti make a 650b version of their fancy-pants tubeless rim but it's expensive (and previous versions had issues).
