wheels ( sets ( Build ) ?

HI .
**
EDIT
doesnt anyone have any suggestion ...
i am thinking about upgrading my wheel set.
I am currently running 700c mavic A317 with DT Swiss spokes ( 32h Front&Rear ). with Shimano Viam Hubs .DISC Set -

It is generally blowing ( windy ) and i feel like i am going to be blown off the road or i am going to fold like a taco sometime . i can feel and hear the drag when commuting ..I ride for fun but i like to push myself as well .meaning i like to keep a pace and hual A$$ when i can ..
the wheel set i have now is constantly off the bike and on the truing stand , i ride a bit hard and push what i have = bent wheels all the time . YES you guesed it i am a 20 year mtn biker and havent learned how to take it easy on the road ( YET ) ..

i would like something that can take a beating ,that is going to last and lightweight and PRETTY ( Ofcourse )
So this is why i am here , to ask you WHeel Guru's about what type of rims + a hub upgrade would be good for this type of situation ..
i dont have 1000's of £$€ so please keep it real

Cheers T
