If you're going to start from rims, I'd go for the Halo Mercury (re-branded Kinlin Nb30), although if I actually wanted a set of ~30mm deep alloy track clinchers, I'd stick with the Mavic Ellipse, they have proven to be very tough and they are much cheaper than AC420s.
I was looking at them for a fast, yet reliable, set of road wheels.
I was actually a bit suprised to find out that the Mercurys where rebranded Nb30s,as I had kinda discounted them as a hipster brand slaps wrist. Easier to source than the IRD Cadence aero too.
I'm now very tempted to go all out and put together a set of light 30+mm carbon tubulars. I have other bikes to use in the rain, and like the idea of having a wheelset for tubs. I can always compliment these with some cheap-as clinchers to cover all the cheap-light-strong bases.

Tempted by these rims.
