I was wondering what you guys think are some good (for the money) CX rims? I'm currently looking at some EA70X rims in the $200 range which has me thinking about my options. Are there any rims out there any CX rims out there that are decent for under $200? I'm okay with them being a little on the heavy side.

I assume you mean wheels, not rims. There are wheels here at that price range.

Campagnolo Khamsin CX have done very well for me in that price range. A bit heavy but they all will be at this level. The CX have extra sealing versus the standard Khamsin.

i ran Easton EA70x for a couple seasons, they're a good deal at $200 if not beat up.

+1 on the Khamsin best bang for your buck
CRC has them for $150 right now

I think I may go check them out, the have some CX tires on them as well so that adds some value.

If you can score a deal on some used Williams CX wheels you might consider those. I've raced on the EA 70X's and I prefer a wider wheel. Tubulars to me feel better at lower pressures with a wider wheel and are less likely to roll.
