Strong wheels?

hey I'm lookin to buy a new wheel (or wheelset) for my bike. I'm lookin for something strong, not too concerned with weight. Price doesn't matter cuz I'll look around for some deals. what do you recommend? thanks

Arrow DHX rims. Strongest rims i have ever ridden. stonger than my old set of now crumpled Deemaxx's. These things are built. Check out Go-ride, they got some.

Arrow's (aka Intense's) are extremely strong.
Atom Lab's are strong too.

If your interested, I've got a very solid rear wheel (135mm qr) that I don't use anymore because it's too heavy.

Arrows are not intense rims. Intense rims are made by sun ringle, and the only rim they make is the mag 30. Arrow racing makes their own rims.

Mag 30;s are the same as Double tracks. and i think that Double tracks are actually Cheaper so if your gonna get Mag 30's get Double tracks.

If you're looking for quality strength and something thats a little lighter than Arrows, cause Arrows are freakin heavy, check out Mavic's 729 rim. As for hubs, if you're really not concerned about money go with Hadleys. And always get brass nipples and straight gauge spokes.
