Sturdy wheelset for touring

Hello!
My name's Oscar and I'm new around.
Hopefully I'm posting in the right forum.

I did my first cycling trip last year and I really loved it. After destroying 2 back wheels, I also learnt that I should invest in a new wheelset for my 28' hybrid bike.
I'm a big guy ( 95kg) and I only use back panniers. Having said that, I ride mostly on paved roads.

I read some threads about materials and I found this on the internet ( I'm sorry I'm still not allowed to paste links so these are the features).

ATB wheelset, consisting of:
· Rims: Mavic A 719, 36 hole (item no.: 1712087)
· Front hub: Shimano XT HB-T780 silver, 36 hole (item no.: 1770285)
· Rear hub: Shimano XT FH-T780 silver, 36 hole (item no.: 1770294)
· Spokes: DT Swiss Champion, silver
· Nipples: DT Swiss Double Square, brass (item no. 2043221): square head at both ends of the nipple (to tighten the nipple from the side of the rim base, you'll need the Park Tool SW-16, item no.: 2010296, as the nipple doesn't have a slotted head)
· Hub width: 100 mm / 135 mm
· Compatibility: Shimano 7-/8-/9-/10-speed
· Incl. quick release skewers, without rim tape (required width: 22 mm)
· Max. system weight: 140 kg (cyclist, bike, gear and luggage)
· Category: 2 (please click on the button for more information)

PRICE 181€ _ ROSE BIKES ONLINE

What do you think price & quality wise? Would they be suitable for my basic Trek 7.1 fx series 2015?
Thanks for your time!
