Just like the title says. I am about to buy a set of the 10 spoke SS wheels with F1's (8k miles) for $500 for the track. I remember hearing they were weak. Is there any truth to that?

I asked before and ppl said that they havent had many problems with them. But they do look a little week in the center, so if you are worried about it than don't do it. Better safe than sorry. Plus I picked up my SS 5stars for 300bux in good condition, that leave 200 extra left over for other parts. Also, most ppl that cracked they were on race tires, if you plan on running radials then don't worry about it.
