The Runaway is the lightest and probably the cheapest. It's a very decent rim and will hold up fine for flatland.

The "StayStrong" is just a sticker... proceeds of this rim and other "Stay Strong" products go to Stephen Murray.

The other rims you mention were designed and ridden in street, so they hold up very well.

Just choose the one that looks better for your bike (or the cheapest).

Hi Midou Ban. I like to run narrower rims, especially when using tires that are 1.75 or smaller. (I currently use the Dom X kevlar tires - 1.60's) Anyway, I have had really good luck with Sun Envy rims which also happen to be some of the lightest rims out there. The narrower, lighter rims also help with rotational weight which helps the way your bike handles especially with spinning/turbine tricks. Hope this helps, good luck!

The width of the rim won't have a big influence on the tire. You will be happy with anyone of those rims.
