The main thing I would like is a wider rim. Which puts me off replacing them with another set of Aksiums
What year are your old Aksiums? They have got slightly wider lately. For my money, the current ones are fine for tyres up to 25C, my GP4000S come up to 26.5mm on a current Aksium. If you're using bigger tyres than that, then something based on the Kinlin XR31T would be nice, if you don't mind spending the money.

Superstar Components had really good value builds using the XR31T rim, branded as arc 31, but they don't seem to do them any more.
They have the Arc Ultra, which I imagine is the XR26T rim.I have one of their wheelsets based on the XR31T rim on cx-rays, and its lovely.

I think they are the 2016 range. I bought them in late 2016 but they were second hand. I will have to check the rim width to be sure.
I use 28c Conti GP4 Seasons.

Yes, I have thought about going with another set of Aksiums.
They have been great, bearings are still good and I’ve only had to clean/oil the freehub once. The rear has 3 seized nipples and the brake tracks are worn. I had them trued at my LBS who recommended a rebuild, but said it might be better just to replace with a new wheelset.
