Go to www.alexrims.com for an explanation. The number is the width in mm. The letters are the type of rim.

I guess cnc means that they've machined the sides flat and put the wear groove in for rim brakes.
The DH19 and DM24 are meant to be "e-bike" rims, with the DH19 been a narrow profile and the DM24 a wider profile. The DX32 is more for downhill and BMX hence it is a wider profile again and probably a stronger rim as well.
Not sure what makes the first two "e-bike" rims as they are single-walled 36 hole rims ... not exactly uncommon or special.
Alex rims are probably a reasonable step up from a rim sold by Chinese e-bike sellers but in the non-e-bike world tend to be down the lower end of the rim scale. Pretty common as OEM wheels from what I have seen locally on road bikes in the shops.
That said I have them on my recumbent bikes but then getting smaller sized rims is more difficult. I don't have them and wouldn't have them for example on my touring bike.
