You have Alex rims on (probably)Joy-Tec/Novatec hubs. If anything is wrong with your wheels, it can only be the spokes or the build. If you're not racing and you don't plan to drop more (probably double) on new wheels than your whole bike cost so far, you're not going to buy an upgrade that will make any difference apart from lightening your wallet. If your wheels aren't straight, spend £20-£40 getting a decent wheelbuilder to sort them out. If you want them to stay straight for longer, get him to rebuild them with butted spokes while you're at it.
