The \*only\* aluminum rim I've tried that holds up (and honestly would believe is as good in this department as carbon) is Spank Vibrocore if you can handle the increased weight. They're just brilliant. Game changer on the DH rig - for context, I spent a few years tightening spokes MID DAY at the bike park on all manner of alloy rims until the Vibrocores came 'round.
I think one of the biggest wins about WAO is the warranty program, which in my experience can be summarized as "Dont be an ass and you can probably get another rim.... and if you did do something monumentally stupid, don't tell us"
