Hey Donnie, I don't know a thing about the Hurricanes, but have an idea for you.
I am also 230 lb and 6'5 and very hard on wheels. After getting tired of replacing spokes every week or so, I got a pair of Rol Volant rt wheels. They are 1655 grams and are specifically for big guys. Rol rates them to 240 lbs. http://www.rolwheels.com/rol_volant_rt_wheels.php I got mine at TLC--- Gary Smith 919-3244966... I think they were @ $350 , which seems low for a quality wheel, but do a google search on these wheels and the company, and I think it will be of interest to you. They are light, Aero, roll great, and strong as any wheel I have seen.
