Default Need help with rims?

i put a spoke rim on the rear when i got bike and it started to wobble at around 80mph. Had it my neck bearings adjusted put a matching front tire on to match tread of back. Still wobbled! so took rim to have it trued and they said it was way off. they said they got it right side to side but up and down it had a few flat spots that want come out. I like to spoke rims but i also love to hot dog my bike! i mean we beat the **** out of them! the guy at my shop said that some spoke rims like the fat daddy straight up and down rims want hold up to beating the ***** out of your bike. does anyone have any ideas or pics of rims they have?
