I have 221's on my XP-X & they are fantastic. Bought new in 97 & they are as true now as the day I got them & I'm no slimline  220+pounds.

They're not a flat rim, they have a raised profile.

I think the original wheels on my 754 were Mavic 231's...I turned the front wheel into a pretzel while riding DH about a year after I got the bike.  Definitely wasn't made for a big fat guy like me to hit rocks and tree roots with at speed.  :(
