Very easy to build a set of Light Bicycle rims on DT350 hubs for well under your $1k budget. Great value.

Looking for something <$1k.
Prefer DT hubs (350 or 240), center lock. Don't care much about width, as long as it's >23mm ID.
I weigh 165lbs. Most of the trails are fairly smooth, but the rigid fork does cause some harsher hits on the front wheel.

Please recommend some wheels. Thanks.
