off to search downhill wheel sets...
I don't think you need to go with a downhill wheelset just for commuting. You can probably find a higher end hub and pair it with a downhill rim. Downhill specific hubs can be expensive and I'm not even sure if they'd work on your bike. It's been a long time since I worked at a bike shop.
