Looking for recommendations for a supplier of carbon rims, 45-50mm depth, 28-30mm ext., for road use. I'll build them up myself, more for fun than to save pennies but rims here in England are shockingly expensive.
Anyone able to suggest a supplier?
I think we would be a good fit for you. ;)

He Sir,
We might be able to help you with this at ZEN
We have a couple of rim profiles that could suit what you're looking for, both available in different lightweight constructions.
Option 1 – 45mm depth
* 23mm internal width
* 28.3mm external width at the bead
* 30mm maximum external width
* Heavy Duty: 390g
* Race: 360g
* Extreme Ultralight: 325g
Option 2 – Original VaporLite 50mm
* 23mm internal width
* 28.3mm external width at the bead
* 29.7mm maximum external width
* Heavy Duty: 410g
* Race: 380g
* Extreme Ultralight: 330g
We can configure complete wheelsets using carbon, stainless steel or titanium spokes, depending on your requirements.
We also offer a wide selection of hub options, including our own lightweight hubs, H-Works and established brands such as DT Swiss, Carbon-Ti and Extralite.
These are just two examples of the rim profiles available to us. We have plenty of other options covering different depths, widths and carbon layups.
Our website features a range of popular pre-configured wheelsets, but we also specialise in more bespoke builds for customers looking for something a little different.
So if you can't find exactly what you're looking for on our website, or have a particular rim profile, hub or spoke combination in mind, please feel free to contact us. We're happy to discuss your requirements and see what we can put together.
We also offer tax-free shipping to the UK.
I've attached the drawings of these two rim profiles for reference.
