I laced up the wheels and they go to the shop for truing next. They are 40mm wide. The rims say they are Araya, but I don't think so.

The senior wheel truer wasn't there today, so the new guy trued up my wheels.
They are nice and true, but the rear wasn't centered. It will go back tomorrow since I have business in town anyway. No problem with the front. I added the 20 x 2.125 knobby to see if I needed a wider tire, but I think it works like that.

I found some 20 x 2.5 tires for those rims, and again changed up the configuration. The big wheels will go to another build. I wanted to keep this lighter, so it got the lighter rims and it is just how I wanted it. So this build is done except for little adjustments.

That last picture looks like a motocross wheel. Awesome!
Since all my old spokes were 195mm, I had to lace them 4 cross. They will stand up to a lot of abuse.
