I recommended the chrina, open sport, and Alex DA22 (http://www.lfgss.com/post2275986-330.html). But I'm not sure of the availibility of the alex rims unbuilt, and figured the sports and chrinas were much of a muchness.
For those purchasing from the UK its worth checking out Halo rims. They're all rebrands, but they offer some good options. I have some Excite 29ers for commuting. They have the 23mm width mdcc_tester recommends, eyelets, and a little depth to the profile for strength. I throw the the commuter around mountian trails occasionally, so the 588g weight penalty is worth it for me. Easiest rims I've ever built up I think. http://www.halorims.com/products-details.php?id=RMHAXR72
