Might spring for a second wheelset, one with more spokes and built with a tougher rim, tougher spokes and a high-quality build (very reputable wheel shop). The bike sounds like a good one. If it fits and rides well for you, a second heavier-duty wheelset might suit you while the weight's coming off, and then you could wap to the other lighter-built wheelset once you're down to "fighting" weight.

For wheelsets, check out Velomine for some options:
