Somebody mentioned the H Plus Son. Interesting. Heavy. Is there a reason that Velomine only seems to build these into track or fixed gear wheels?

For OP, when you say you want aluminum deep wheels, and if you don't have anything against CF, are you saying you want silver wheels (not black)?
Otherwise, the deepest full alloy that I've come across is the Tune TSR35, eg below. However, rarely found real-people reviews of these:

That's what I figured. Guess I could go with 30 mm depth, maybe something is out there in aluminum for that depth. My goal is very shallow - I like the looks of deep rims, but I don't want to have any carbon fiber on the bike, except the water bottle holder and the kickstand. I'm not a performance rider. I'm heavyweight and a little extra weight on a bike don't matter to me, as I'd need to lose 50 lbs of bodyweight to be anywhere near performance rider weight. If anyone has a name or a link to somewhat deep aluminum clincher rims, would be appreciated.

Kinlin XR31T or Aforce al33. The Aforce has an interesting option if you ride in the wet: a ceramic brake track. I have a set of Mavic Open Pro Ceramic on my rain bike. I put them on in maybe 1998. They are still just fine. I had been wearing out a set of rims in two years. I have an Aforce rim on one of my bikes. It's nice, TLR.

To answer your second post, the reason I am looking for wheels is because I've read a few reviews that the stock deep aluminum wheels are low quality and with heavier riders, the tires bulge sometimes. It's a back up plan in case it's true. I'll keep you posted on them wheels, the bikes should arrive by end of month.

Yes Dean, it does, they're all aluminum and heavy cheap quality rims, that don't hold the tires very well especially under heavy riders like me. My bikes are in transit, I'll be the judge, but I'm just going based on reviews and starting looking for wheels early just in case that's true.

I'm totally amused that you are totally amused by my posts. I'm gonna put on a clown's costume, grab some fireworks, while you grab the popcorn and soda, sit back in a recliner, relax, and continue being amused. Oh my goodness, Isn't it splendid and amusing?

Apologies for the necro, but I've been to this forum page so often looking for deep section alloys, I thought I should post where I found mine for future visitors
kinetic-one (dot) co (dot) uk (new user link limit)
They do 33mm and 42mm with various hub/rim/spoke options... for a reasonalbe price and have carbon options available.
The deep alloys aren't Fulcrum/Mavic cheap, but they aren't bank breaking either.... and 42mm... yes please.

Wider, deeper, lighter, less expensive.
