Might these be any use to you? Rigid a Grizzly carbide £50 from SJS https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/rims-tape/rigida-grizzly-26-559-mtb-css-rim-black-32-hole/

Spendy as but reflecting the fact 559 ceramic rims are rarer than 700C these days
Here's another carbide rim if it might work for you and built on to a nice Halo hub https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rigida-X-Cel-Pro-Carbide-like-Mavic-Ceramic-Rim-26-front-wheel-Halo-Hub-720g/202532767769?hash=item2f27e4c819:g:sq4AAOSwR5BbC9Z3Have you put a wanted ad on the MTB section of retrobikes?
luck hunting

Hopefully the rims aren't too worn out for you...
