Much of the difference compared with other rims comes from cutting the side wall height. You have to ask whether you'd trust the tyre to stay on. Maybe Stan really does know better than the ETRTO, who have only been in the road vehicle pneumatic tyre standards business for 47 years
You also have to ask whether you trust a company which deliberately uses model names a bit less than their own claimed weight, looks like a deliberate effort to make people think they must weigh 340g.
