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?

This is why I even take my "track only" set of rims/tires off of the car for cleaning and inspection after every weekend of use. Its a good opportunity to catch a problem before it creates an "interesting experience that you could do without".
