Looking for some wider 29er rims for my codeine to improve tyre profile on some bigger tyres, what else is there that's similar to the above rims? Budget £50 per rim but I'd stretch that if something else is really worth it

What would the potential benefits of going for a slightly narrower (say i29) over an i35? Less likely to ding I suppose? Tyres are a 2.35 Magic Mary and a 2.35 Hans Dampf

Less likely to ding on a 35 than a 29, as the sidewalls have a squarer, hence stronger profile.

Edit - IIRC the halo rims are 35 external, 30 internal, so a an i29 would be more like what you asked in the original post.
