Can anyone recommend some gravel rims?

For 50mm tires I personally would be looking for something with a 23mm or wider internal width.

I don't think you can beat Stan's Crest Mk3 for weight and really good price to boot. I've built up several sets. They're very nice rims. $150 shipped for two is a great deal. I've purchased two different pair from Chain Reaction in 2020.

The rim stickers are easily removed.

Not comprehensive, but it might help your quest.
It's sorted by depth right now- for aero-ness ;p

Wow!
Great work.
Thanks for sharing.

Those look pretty nice, and I found some really positive reviews on mtbr. Anyone here have experience with them?

I love my Easton R90 SL rims, FWIW.

Yeah, they look nice but they are only 19.5mm internal, seems too narrow.

Duke Lucky Star Ultra alu rim has similar weight, width and depth to the MK3, but with an assym 2mm-offset profile.

While I like the stiffness of my 22mm internal carbon 700c wheels across smoother gravel surfaces, I'm thinking of getting a second 700c wheelset with flexier alu rims like this for riding at a slower pace across rougher conditions.

Being 135lb I think that flex should be helpful a bit.

Cool option I was unaware of, thanks.
