Rotas vs. 2.5i stockers

I have decided that I am gonna upgrade to 17x7 rotas for daily driving. My question is, are these wheels gonna bust when I hit a bump or are they just as strong as the factory 16x7 wheels? Again the rotas will be used for daily commuting.

Even though I'm going to use them 365 days a year as daily wheels? Someone told me to go with Forged BBS but I don't have that kind of money. I'm just worried they'll bust if I hit a pothole.

unless you hit a pothole at 100+ mph, or drift it hard into a curb you'll be fine

Rotas are just like any other wheel. Of course there are those out there that refuse to believe this.
Suby Dude FTW on Rotas.
