CXP22 vs Open Sport

Hello,
I am looking to build up some 105 32h hubs to use for light touring and occasional cross rides. I am just over 10 stone, so overall weight will be low.
Just trying to decide which rim would be better. The Sports are recommended for wider tyres than the CXP22s, but I would not be running anything wider than 32C and possibly only 30C.
Can I squeeze these onto the CXPs or should I go for the sports.
Not really looking for suggestions to spend £40 per rim, as these wheels are being built to a budget.
Also, the CXP description says non-eyletted, then two lines down says single eyelete.
Can anyone clear up this confusion for me?
Thanks
Steven

If I were you I wouldn't get either of those rims. IIRC the sports can only take tyres up to 28mm, same as open pros. If you're on a budget and want decent quality, go for Rigida rims.
For tyres 28mm upwards, try the Sputniks:

28mm and below, the Chrinas:

Both type of rims are under £20 and are good quality. I run Chrinas and Open Pros and I can't tell the difference.0 -
Thanks, I'll have a look.0
