Hybrid rim recommendation

I have a Hybrid bike, 700cc wheels I run 28-32 wide tires on, for general
commuting, shopping and excercise riding around town. I put about 100
miles a week on the bike. I've rebuilt the rear wheel but the original
Weinmann rim wasn't great to begin with and its going, hard to keep
true. I have a new LX rear hub 32h and will use 14/15 butted spokes but
what would be a good solid rim for my purpose, and one that would
accomodate a 28-32 tire without being overally heavy? An OC rim would
be nice but not essential.

thanks to all, Rick

I like the Ambrosio Excursion. Eyeleted and socketed (or double-eyeleted,
if you will), pinned seam that's perfectly aligned, non-machined sidewall,
and reasonably cheap (I got a set for $58 shipped off ebay). Kind of a tall
profile, I've beaten the crap out of them and they've stayed true. I've run
tires from 23mm to 32mm on them. I'm currently running 28mm Conti GP 4
Seasons on them for my commute, 100-150 miles a week. 510g each.

Velocity Fusion, Mavic CXP-33, Mavic T520-now T717, Velocity Deep V,
Velocity Dyad, Velocity Synergy...all would work, all can take a big
fat tire.
