Was there pics of the inside lip? With the camber most people run, the inside lip is going to take the brunt of the hit when it encounters a pothole that wants to swallow your car whole. Also with unstreched tires the wheel can take a substaintial hit without showing damage to the lip. I'm sure name brand wheels are stronger and lighter but, I don't think rota would be around if there wheels break without hitting something. They would loose more money on lawsuits then they'd make selling wheels. Just like how firestone has pretty much dropped off the map after they had all the problems with explorers rolling because of there tires being defective.
