Double walls on deep rims are the strongest. They look aerodynamic, but the real benifit is in their stiffness. Double depth can give 8 times the stiffness. Keeping the spokes at full tension and evenly tensioned also promotes long wheel life. For someone at 300# spending $50-$60 on a spoke tensiometer is a good investment, even if you dont try to build wheels,
