    I don't really understand the question, but I suspect the answer is handbuilt wheels.

    Campagnolo Zonda's worth a look. Campag state maximum rider weight of 240lbs so you are just in, but lose a couple of lbs and no problem. I use Zondas and found them to be pretty bomb proof and quite fast

    Campagnolo says on his website that the weight is over 82 kg you should constantly check the wheels, which may have problem.

    i think, i need wheels with 34 o 36 spokes, but i dont know this wheels

    This one's been done to death on these threads. Have a search.

    The answer is always the same, handbuilt, 34 / 36 on the back & 28 / 32 on the front. Miche Primato hubs and Open Pro or DT Swiss rims.

    I am assuming you need rim wheels, if you don't care about wheel weight then I would get these http://www.nashbar.com/bikes/Product2_1 ... _603921_-1 can remove the stickers if too much. I have these and price is real nice, they roll nice, stay true, and solid, but pretty heavy. If care about wheel weight, then maybe these ones https://www.huntbikewheels.com/collecti ... er-jan-wk4 A little over budget though. Can do custom someplace like this http://www.wheelbuilder.com/custom-road-wheels/ Wheelbuilder gets average reviews though that I've see, maybe search and find a better place.

    This is basically a UK forum, probably better to ask for US shops on a US forum. Or just listen to vegasfoster who already did.

    Or try Google.

    actually the answer is not Mavic open pro (narrow and shallow version) rims or DT swiss rims although there is one DT rim that would work but there are other rims too.

    In the USA I dont know who you would go too but look at Kinlin XR31T and build with washers (bike hubstore) or the H plus son archetype from who knows but google probably does.
    32 spoke rear should be enough with triple butted spokes with the Kinlin rim or DT swiss RR511, If you go with the archetype then a 36 spoke rear is a better as the rim is not as stiff.

    Incidentally this thread has reminded me that it looks as if Ugo has followed through on his stated intention of stopping posting.....just thought it was worth commenting.
