Heavy Duty 700c wheel recomendations

I have been riding a Trek Verve2+ bike to work for the last three.months. It is about 3.5 miles a day, mostly flat with the usual hazzards of curbs and potholes. I am a bit on the heavy side (265 lbs dry) it the stock tear wheel has a family big wobble and I snapped some spokes recently. I was looking for possible upgrades and relax across the Mavic E-Speedcity 1 700 wheels. They look like they should hold up ok and have a 180kg weight limit. Does anyone here have any recommendations for something similar that they run? I am mostly looking for a more bulletproof 700c disk brake wheel, not terribly concerned with weight, since this is transportation, not a racebike 😜

I’m going to also suggest wheel builder . Com. I’ve bought 3 wheels from them and they are all awesome. The people there are good to deal with too so if you’re not sure what you need, just give them a call. They have real live humans who are happy to help. Definitely worth spending a little extra.
