Campagnolo Sydney (spelt Sidney on some decals I have seen). Much, much better than the Atlanta's being lighter and with a superior machined brake surface for use on the road. The Atlanta is a little deeper (I think 36mm) and is very popular for fixies but the Sydney's meet your criteria being 22mm wide and 30mm deep. The Sydney's can also be picked up NOS on eBay a lot cheaper than the Atlanta's. Expect to pay anywhere between USD 250 - 350 for a pair.

My favorite race and training wheels of all time have been the Mavic Cosmic Pro-- about 32mm depth if I remember correctly, really cool looking, super mooth Mavic hubs. good for cross too.
pretty easy to find a cheap set on ebay. I also like the look of the wheels that come stock on the Giant Trinity TT bikes- 40mm or so aluminum rim depth.

Does it have to be within 27-30mm to fit a wheel cover, etc?

Why do you want that width? If you can go narrower you have a lot of options.

If you are trying to match a tire width, you could just run 21mm wide on the front.

im thinking about calling hed and getting a 32 spoke c2 rim. the only downside is that the rim is that its about 24mm in depth and i wont be able to electrical tape it properly (wheel cover).

Yes, but they are proprietary now.
You'll see many more rims with these shapes in 2011, but the develolpment seems to be slow from the major rim players so each comapny is forced to open their exclusive models, not buy an off the shelf version.

If you could get a wide (23 mm) 30+ mm deep section alloy rim (light) with one of the narrow flange spacing hubs you would have an absolute killer. I am torn between the Easton EA90 TT and the HED Bastognes right now. I want the Easton for the depth and the narrow flange spacing front hub and the Hed's for the rim width. Does the new TT2 have the narrow flange spacing that Dan mentioned in his "empty space" article? I do not see any mention of the hub on your website.

Yes, TTR2 wheels use the super narrow front hub, fewer spokes, and a slightly wider rim this year, and development on these aero wheels is suprisingly far ahead of many other "aero" wheels on the market today.

We started producing our 40mm deep rims in 2006 and revised the design after some testing and additional development time.

The 2010 B2 and B2 R both use the new TT2 wheels.

The rim we developed is an exclusive shape, it is not an open mold free to be branded. The SOUL wheels came on the market over a year after the FELT wheels, so I'd hardly call the FELT wheels "re-branded" anything. Do you think SOUL extrudes and makes their own rims?

We are not using the 40 x 19mm rims on the TTR2 any longer, we have a new shape and rim for 2010 that is 2mm larger in all directions.
