I think a custom builder could do this easy for you and not really all the expensive because you are looking for what most folks what to avoid. This being a heavy set of wheels that feel like boat anchors. You are going to strong and solid.
I'm going to show this post to a bike shop and hopefully they cook this up for me. What about 40 spokes assuming more is better? Also I got a quote for a custom build but and it will be around 400 for both wheels. I was told I don't need two but I would rather get a matching set. Does that sound right in price range?
