Google "Volk wheels breaking."
It happens to every wheel, Nigel Prodrive has a few broken rally wheels (the strongest wheels ever) on his wall of shame. When you run into a curb/wall/tree/moped the wheels(no matter what they are) will most likely break. For some reason when people see someone who has crashed into a tree, and lo and behold his rota breaks, everyone jumps up and down and says "See! that's what you get for buying fake wheels!!LoLZ!" So your Rota broke, then what. You go buy another for $150 brandy new. So your Volk breaks, better empty out the bank account! More rotas break, because there are more out there. How many people on NASIOC run Rotas, and don't have problems? Dis many

I have Rota DPT's. No flaking paint, no cracks, no nothing, and I live on a long dirt driveway. If you put Rota's on your car, your car will not spontaneously implode, as many people think. They are perfectly fine when used for what they were made for, riding dirty.
You could spend a few grand on wheels, or buy Rotas, save money, and put the rest into go fast bits. As Bratman mentioned, stay away from hyper black, although I really haven't seen too many other sets flaking as badly as his are.
I will some day have "real" wheels, but there is so many other things I want to do first, like get rid of my tinny TD04
