Whats peoples thoughts on these???

I'm lookin at a set of 19" Lambo Gallardo style alloys for the R but heard some stories of the material bein very soft and the wheels buckling easily when hitting the old pothole/sunken manhole cover.

On the plus side there pretty cheap but I dont want to buy a set thats unsafe on the road if you know what I mean

Replicas do buckle really easy and the fact British Roads are riddled with Potholes it doesnt help.

Jr was telling me when he worked for VW so many cars with replica wheels came in with buckled wheels!
