What are you going to do with the rims that cause you to be concerned about their strength? I would be more concerned about the spoke tension, quantity of spokes and lacing pattern. Next concern would be the hub bearing performance. Oh wait..... my concerns would be reversed, hub first then how true the rims are then the spoke stuff.

That is just the wheel issue set. The bike fit would be number one.
