In my experience once a wheel starts breaking spokes it's time to relace the wheel. The key is to find a wheel builder who knows what he is doing and takes the time to tension the spokes evenly.

They are Dt swiss wheels. Came from a bike in a crash, but the wheels were not damaged or there is no apparent damage. LBS head mechanic relaced them before my friend started riding them. He bought these wheels becuase his other wheels kept breaking spokes too. He’s roughly 210 ish, the other weird thing is it’s not just one wheel breaking spokes it’s both wheels at different times.(front and rear) He took it to the mechanic the first couple of times, but since they kept breaking he started working on it himself.
