Quality of Rota wheels

I'm looking into getting a set of Rota battle wheels. I live in an urban area with a fair amount of potholes around. Would going with a budget wheel like Rota be a bad choice? Have these wheels warped or cracked on anyone?

The battles are virtually indestructibe and can handle much more abuse than the subzero.

Don't worry about them.

I have seen the SDRs on Suby Dude's car and from the looks of the them. The wheels seem to be really beefy.

So far my 17" sub-zero's are rock solid. 1 track day, 2 scca solo II's, umpteen potholes (road to work sucks) and they are still in perfect condition.

All for 500-600 bucks a set.

Yea, the Tarmac's and the Battle's are probably Rota's strogest wheels. I've have heard of 1 or 2 Subzero's bending, but in general Rota makes an awesome wheel.
