I found the toughest wheel out there and some nostagia at the same time with Tag wheels www.tagwheels.com They are designed for free riders, but would have a great use for the urban rider on bad pavement. They reminded me of my old Z rims from my youth in BMX. But I was soon informed these wheels are bullet prrof and you can't put them in the freezer to make your wheels true again. The wheels come wheel DT Swiss hub that any non-mechanical type can service. This product has a ton of potential in the MTB world, but I would love to see a road version for the wet rides in the Seattle  winter.
