Local prices should retail at under R1000 per rim.  Imported and distributed by International Trade.  Stock of 29" (25mm) only due in end of November 2014.  The last time I ordered 650b were still available.

I have a set of WTB KOM laced to Hope hubs - had it since June.  Love the wheels, nice and stiff, and light and the tubeless conversion was a breeze.  I bought mine directly from International Trade - can't remember exactly what I paid for them but was around R700 a rim.

Hi, Dave from Spoke and Spanner built me a wheel with A KOM i23 with Hope pro 2 hub. Running it at the rear and very happy with the result. Doing tubeless conversions very easy. One of the best rims I have ever had.

Running 29" KOM rims with Hope hubs on my Pyga. No problems at all,despite my racing weight being 98kg.

Hi Francois, I paid R1220, however that was with using my existing Hope hub and we were able to also use my old spokes, just had to shorten them slightly.

Hi Francois, I have the i23's.  Found my invoice, the cost per rim was just under R800.
