The bike is disc, but I'm wanting to build the wheels on box section style rims. Such as below.

box section in 24 holes could be a little difficult to find. with a quick search I found Mavic A 1022 or Mavic Open Pro UST Disc, but they are not very "box-ish".

not box but pretty shallow ?

If youre using rim brakes then nothing with a black braking surface will last longer than a few dry rides/one wet ride. Go discs if you want all black rims. I definitely feel like I've seen some retro steel builds with discs that don't look too unnatural. 140mm rotors will help too
