At the bottom of this page, Velocity has a graph, the rims are color coded. Yellow for the Deep V means medium strength. The Dyads are also yellow and I have them on my light touring bike, thus maybe medium is plenty strong.

Deep V looks like it might be a winner. 19mm outside width and shown as stronger than Dyad. Thanks!
