Thanks, that's all good to know.
@Alb and @tertius are quite right and I was wrong to doubt Bitex! I emailed them asking whether the rims were gloss or matt black and got a prompt reply from a chap called David at DCR who I presume puts the D in DCR.
£45 for a rim that's very similar to the Forza/SL25 is perfect for this bike so I've just ordered a pair.
I have those exact rims in 28h on my CX bike. Over the last 2+ years they have done everything from CX races to bike packing and have been great set up tubeless with various tyres. The rear has a slight dent (all my offroad rims have dents as I like to push the limits of what is doable on a cx bike) but that hasn't seemed to affect anything.
