You are kidding, right. This is just a test to see how stupid we all are. I am 6'2" and currently weigh about 200# and have been riding a set of Phil Wood 32 hole Highflange hubs laced to Sun rims with the same Wheelsmith Double butted spokes for quite awhile. They are bullet proof. The front is a 2X and the rear is a modified Crow/radial. If these are 3X wheels you have nothing to worry about, unless you are jumping curbs or aiming for the pot holes. Just ride them.
