My bontrager select road rear wheel has cracks around some of the spokes.
So I need a new rear wheel. Looking for suggestions. I'm 260lbs and I need a strong wheel to hold the gut up. Also, I'm on a budget. I'm gonna upgrade the wheels but that's going to be months down the road.
Any suggestions?

What about a Velocity Dyad or Synergy rim, 36 spokes, and an Ultegra or Shimano 105 hub?
