Wheelset recommendation

[TxDoc]

At 210 lbs you will be fine with a good rim and 32 spokes.
Does your shop have a good wheelbuilder? If yes ask him for a quote, if not tell the shop to ask QBP to quote you a build for a set of DT Swiss.
You can make a very good budget wheelset from RR465 and 340 hubs. It will not be the lightest wheelset, but it will be totally fireproof. RR465 rims come in black or white. Use competition spokes for the build, they are practically indestructible.
Good luck!

I just spotted an interesting article in Bike Rumor, where representatives of several wheel manufacturers were asked for a recommendation for heavier riders (specifically, someone around 250lbs):

Since it is topic that comes up periodically in the forum, I thought it was worth posting the link.

I know the thread is a tad old...but hopefully someone recommended to ZiggysMom that she should change her tire size. This will not only improve wheel durability but make the bike ride much better too,
700 x 23 is pretty common for a Specialized Dolce. However, once a rider clears about 170 they should start to consider moving up to a 700x25 tire.
At 200 the bike will behave much better, be more stable in braking/cornering and actually be faster AND more comfortable with 700x28.
We have had good luck getting the Continental 28s in Dolce frames.
