I had the same thing happen to a Work Wheel and I bent an old SSR Super Mesh back in the day.

I even seen a truck with Billet wheels bend 2 wheels when he ran over a pipe.

I never used Rotas in the past but I know they are quite popular in the Phillipines were they are made, If you have ever lived there or driven there..the city streets are crappy and it's like pothole heaven.... I know if Rotas can withstand those kind of conditions..then it's a strong wheel.

My cousin shipped over BBS Wheels to put on his Mercedes back home and he messed them up good..

I think no matter what..if you hit a pothole or any other object hard enough with low profile tires..you are gonna damage them.


But if you are talking about road racing..I would invest on a good quality wheel.

Jason has a good point though..I'd rather have a rim bend rather than crack and shatter..but like I said..I had some JDM Sprint Hart Hyper Tuners and they just got messed up....I bought another set and I have them for over 7 years now with out a single bend or crack...I guess it also depends on luck....
