Interesting... Hope hubs could work, but I do prefer quieter hubs, hence leaning to DT 350 over the newer EXP.
I was looking at the DT rims, but it peeves me that they double the price for a welded rim. I can't see any other difference than that to the G540.

use RS4 hubs, 2 pawl not 4, far quieter.

I have both and prefer the DT hubs (although the buzz from the Hope is good on trails - people are already out of the way by the time I pop out around the corner).
When I get flush with cash I'll build a new rear wheel with a 350 hub (hopefully it's the same disc rotor width as the 240) and then I'll sell the Hope 650B wheelset on.

Hidden eyelet washer things as well. They’re a really nice rim, I’ve been riding a pair for just over a year and they’ve been great. I’m heavy and do stupid shit like ride/jump down stairs etc and they’ve stayed true.
The RS are quieter than the Pro 4.
