DH Rims?

I know close to nothing about downhill rims, almost. I heard that dh rims start at 40$, and well, I need a rim.

Right now, I am running a 32 hole laced to a marzocchi hub. It's a WTB dual duty rim, thats kinda of an oval shape now, with flat spots, and well, I need to get it retrued; so I might as well just rebuild it with a whole new rim.

What are some decent 32 hole downhill rims for roughly 40$ (or less :) )?

i think im gonna go order one of those tonight.... does anyone know if they come with nipples for the holes, or not?

....and should i get new rim tape for inside the rim?
Personally, I like the MTX a lot better for DH. It is very well designed and strong for its weight. It can also be setup tubeless with good results, the Pimp is pretty much tube only. The Pimp, well, it's heavier?
