Vera Terra DPM18 Rims?

I'm looking at a fuji touring bike that has Vera Terra DPM18 rims with 36 holes. I can't seem to find any reviews of this rims anywhere. Does anyone here know if these are quality rims for a heavy rider?

They're stock rims that Fuji puts on their bikes. I have SPM16's on my '14 Crosstown, and I haven't had any problems with them.

They're the Fuji House Brand rims. I.e. think like Bontranger is to Trek.

If you are really heavy, don't bunny hop or curb jump and you should be ok. The 36 spoke count is a good thing.
