Clydesdale Rider Looking to Upgrade Current Wheelset

I currently have Hutchinson Cross Town 700 x 32 on my cyclocross bike with disk brakes. I'm looking to upgrade them to something a bit lighter. I went to my LBS and they recommend that I should get the following.

ZTR-Crest-32: http://www.notubes.com/ZTR-Crest-26-...lack-P341.aspx
XT hubs, 245 Front and 260 Rear.

On the site it says that the maximum weight for the rider is 190 lb and I'm currently in-between 220-230. I was wondering what your opinions were on their recommendations! Is it risky to ride on a rim with that weight difference? I read about rims that can taco and it sounds terrifying.
