The bike has 36 hole rims, there is nothing wrong with them, they are Alex rims. If you are worried about bending them, you bought the wrong bike. You want good new rims, then dish out ALMOST AS MUCH AS YOUR BIKE COSTS. Really, new rims will run you about $150.00 for anything even halfway decent and quickly go up from there.
For the same price you paid for your bike you could have gotten a bike with smaller gearing, 3-piece cranks, better design, front brakes, and 4 pegs, with 48 spoked wheelset.
I would not recommend the Viper-X to anyone looking to buy a bike - but if you already have it, then enjoy it.
