Rotas are a decent rim, I have a set of Torque's on my car, and havnt had a problem with over 15,000 miles on them, and they have seen their share of potholes and spirited driving.

Do I plan to use them as track rims, no.
Will they see a track during their lifetime, you can bet on it.

Also there is the matter of how much HP you are thowing at them, I dont understand how anyone can throw cheap rims on a 500 HP car and think that they wont affected by the amount of torque that you are tossing at them... I dont think a Yaris will be able to snap a set of Rota's, unless your really doing rallycross with them. lol.
