I need to find some bombproof wheels , weight is not a problem to be honest i am a very powerfull rider but also heavy (273 lbs) so they need to be strong , be grate full for any comments are they strong , currently have Hope Road hubs on Mavic CXP 33’s , but these are to be sold on my old bike and i need some for my new one .
Are the Rolf Vector (Sport) ones up to the job?

I can’t comment on the Rolf Vector Sport but I can praise the Rolf Vector Comps. When I was in the market 2 years ago, I asked John Cobb for his recommendation on a good racing/training wheel. So I bought them on his word and they’ve been great. I’ve done 2IMs, many 1/2s and a ton of smaller duathlons, etc on them. I’m only 160lbs though so I can’t tell you how they would work for you.
I would be leary at your weight with the rolf. I don’t know why, but I would. I would suggest velocity deep V built on ultegra hubs w/ 32 spokes . . . since you aren’t that worried about weight. I’ve bought wheels from a guy named Mike Garcia at oddsandendos.com (I think). IMO he really is a good builder and has very reasonable prices, shoot him an email.
