Best trials rim?

Cody probably weighs around 150, the others I dont know. I weigh 191,
and havent done anything to it yet, and I have bottomed out, pinched it
on corners/rials/rocks, and took it off plenty of drops around 6 feet
high.

Yep. Just a little maintenance every now and then will be good though,
but then again, I do that anyways to every part of my uni. Its a good
habit to get into.

The nimbus trials rim is probably my pick. I'm surprised no-one has
mentioned it. It's only 475g, it's undrilled, has nipple eyelets and is
42mm wide (5mm less than KH and k1 rims but much wider than alex dx).

And I've landed sideways down 4 sets when I've screwed up 180's and
it's still completely true.

I have just realised there are a series of cracks around about a quater
of the inside wall of my rim, I am guessing this is bad and my rim cant
have much longer to live. I think I might go for the 'k1 reinforced rim'
(http://tinyurl.com/4ezefn) Is it worth the extra money over the 07 KH
rim?

Well, I rode such a rim and they are strong.
I think it's worth the extra cash since it needs a real hard rider to
break or crank them.
Didn't think I heard of any rider breaking it.

My favourite trials rim is the 05 KH. It's 42mm wide, not holes, light.
Just my favourite from what i've ridden.
