you should NOT be having any types of problems with the 32 spoke Mavic wheels. i'm 230ish, and i used 32-spoke Mavic Open Pro's with Dura-Ace hubs and Wheelsmith Spokes that i got from Performance Bike for over 5,000 miles on my old Specialized, and those things were worth their weight in gold at the time. they rolled great, never really had to be trued, and they were the best wheelset i've ever used to this day. Bontrager wheels used to be notorious for developing small cracks around the spoke holes, but that was several years ago, but i've never ever heard of that happening to a Mavic 32-spoke wheel...

you can try Shimano Ultegra 6800 wheels, they do not have a rider weight limit, they're tubeless ready and pretty much bulletproof. you can find them at pretty much any European mail order shop for around $300 give or take for the wheelset...
