Best Wheels for Fast Tourer / Adventure Road Bike

Posts: 2
I have a Croix De Fer (cdf 30) and front wheels was stolen so I need to replace and decided to upgrade the back at the same time. I want to upgrade from the original wheels were Jalco SR240-D to a lighter and stronger wheel set if possible
(Its important I don't compromise on strength as I weigh 116kg :? ).
I can't find any info on the weight of the Jalco 240. Does anyone have this info?
D T Swiss CR 1600 could be an option https://www.dtswiss.com/en/products/wheels-road/cross-road/cr-1600/ I also looked at Hunt wheels but the dynamo hub seems to be the only option for my weight and I'm not sure I want that https://www.huntbikewheels.com/collections/gravel-wheels.
What other wheels/brands should I consider and what are the pros and cons?
Thanks in advance for any advice

Given your weight your best bet will be to talk to a wheel builder such as Malcolm at the Cycle Clinic who sell wheels specifically made for heavier riders such as these ones:
