[Closed] Best strong 27.5 MTB wheels/ hope hub combo for around £500

Hi , I'm looking to upgrade the wheels on my 16 five . The bike currently has 27.5 alexrims MD23's as stock. Not a huge fan of them the reviews ain't amazing and mine has already started to wobble on the rear despite being only 5 months old. I am looking to sell them while they are still in one bit. Can anybody reccomend a decent wheel build set for around 400- 500 that prioritises stenght rather than weight? I just want wheels that will take a beating and keep going , I am a chunky rider and I give them hell down the trails. I have a budget but don't mind going second hand , weight is not a priority . If I can be cheeky I would crave a set of hope pro 4 hubs in the build. Also anyone know any good online wheel builders ? Sorry I've never really had a bike good enough to upgrade the stock wheels apart from the Orange. Thanks a bunch

Nice one... I ordered the custom DT wheels from actionsports in Germany on Friday evening and they turned up today. Look nicely built and and hoping for many years out the 240s hubs 🙂
