So the original plan was to get some H Plus Son Archetype rims but these are going to be too wide for my frame so looking for something else.

They will be put on Dura Ace 9000 hubs and CX Ray spokes.
Must be clincher and available in 24 holes.

    They do make it wider. The tyre bead is further apart so the tyre effectively becomes wider. Using wider rims has a similar affect to using 25mm tyres instead of 23mm. I use 25mm tyres now and suppose I could always drop to 23mm but was wondering what other rims are out there as I quite like the 25mm tyre.

    If you use a 23mm tyre I think it would measure 25mm once fitted, this is based on 25mm tyres measuring 27/28mm on my archetypes.
