What's wrong with the "new" DP18's?
I recently built two sets of wheels one with CXP22 (for myself) and one with Rigida Chrina (for a friend).
I have found the CXP22's to be solid and reliable and have a semi-aero profile with single eyelets.
My friend chose the Chrina rims solely on the basis of price (http://www.parker-international.co.uk/11145/Rigida-Chrina-700c-Rim.html) and I was quite surprised by the quality of them. Double eyelets with quite a shallow depth and they were as easy to build up.
The weight of the Chrina was only 510g rather than the much quoted 590g.
