I don’t know the general Consensus, but I would have been glad to ship him all of those that I have replaced.
Don’t misunderstand the following, for I like this rim and always have some in my garage.
The DX32 is a common cheap BMX rim, a disciplin that bends a lot of them. It’s been used a lot in trial too, because it is a fair and cheap temporary replacement that is locally available, until we receive the pro rim that we had ordered. Pro trial rims are normally 44 to 47mm bead width, and much stronger than a DX32. At the very least they are welded and thicker (~1200g for a rear rim), the very best are forged single wall and CNC finished, or carbon lately. Yet they are not nearly indestructible, they break once in a while, because trial does require the grip of low PSI, and hitting square is business as usual.
The DX32 is a good upgrade from average MTB bicycle rims when you need stronger and wider, but for those disciplines where we need the strongest rims, it is low entry level.
