£200 replacement wheelset options?

Hi, Wondered if you could make any recommendations for some replacement wheels?

I'm replacing standard Halfords Boardman wheels labelled 4D/XC with 6 bolt rotors, 9mm QR front and QR back. Halfords are suggesting a like for like replacement at around £230 but I'd like to know if I could get something better at that around price bracket?

I mostly ride brideways, rooty/rocky paths etc around Surrey, no jumps! (bar bunny-hops over logs and larger rocks etc is about my limit) - but would like to move on to trail centres etc.

As a chunky bloke (+/-90kg ish), I need something cough... robust? enough to keep up, but cant go breaking the bank.

All the reviews I find keep pointing me towards products that are well over my price bracket - so all recommendations and or thoughts welcome as I'm totally baffled by the options available to be honest!

Many thanks!

Most Boardmans use stock Formula wheels (Boardmans are sold through Halfords by the way not owned by them, so they aren't 'Halfords Boardmans'), some suitable Superstar wheels are the go to at that price point.

That said, these are worth a look http://www.merlincycles.com/dt-x1600-26 ... 72347.html
