So I'd like some new rims...that won't bend so much

These Bontrager Race Disc rims that came stock on the Trek Fuel Ex 8 have never really stayed true, even after retruing.
I don't even do much to make them bend, at least I don't think so.
I'm almost 200 pounds so maybe that's it.

No idea what parameters to look for in a strong rim, I'd just like something to remain true!
So lets start with this one, what do you think and why? Is there a better alternative?

http://www.pricepoint.com/detail/195...Stiffy-Rim.htm

Model.......................................The Oohbah Stiffy
Diameter..................................26"
Number of Holes.......................32
Profile.......................................Oohbah reverse well with BeadNip
Width.......................................40mm (Outside-to-Outside)
Height:.....................................23mm
Material....................................6061-T6 Aluminum
Rim Joint Type..........................Sleeved & Bonded
Sidewall/Braking Surface...........Disc Only



My hubs are ok right now so I am hoping to just plop them into the new rims.
