Alex rims are a last resort, they'll make a tank out of your bike. Hula Hoops are pretty heavy too, but not quite as bad. If you're on a budget, look at prefab wheels.

Hazard Lite rims are probably not a good choice for a 200+lb rider with a history of thrashing rims.

the primo hulahoop is stronger than the supra j and stronger than oddy hazard lite. good choice in rim, get chrome if you are using brakes. oddy hazard cassette is good, easy to get parts for it, and generally popular. i have no experience on demolition products. supra J's split at the pin joint, hulahoops are welded joints...
