Alloy rims brake much better in the wet than steel and yes they are lighter. Dallas is flat right so 3 speeds are more than adequate, right?
These are good rims and the price is reasonable:

Plus you can build your dynamo front wheel. The bike comes with cool fenders. Just add a rack. One problem might be that the rear hub is likely 40 hole and you will need to find the right rim.
