They probably have a beefier rim, but that's about it. If the Kinlins were handbuilt by a competent builder who took care with the spoke tension, they will last quite a while. At 160, just be wary of potholes and the like, and try to lose 10 or 20 pounds (if you have any extra fat to lose).

Personally, I think just about every wheel and rim Mavic sells today is overpriced and underperforms. They got too big of a name and are now greedy from it.
