Yes they are, it only takes hitting it at the right angle. My friend hit a curb powered through shaving his xxr wheels pretty good, bent the LCA, and the wheel although beat up was fine. Swapped LCA and drove it home that night.

Yes marshall did wall ride , The wheels never hit the wall the hard( if at all) rear end of his car took all the damage.

I'm not saying this to defend rota/xxr/ or work, but people gotta stop making up excuses to flaunt their brand loyalty. A wheel is a wheel, hit it hard enough in the right spot it'll fucking break. I've seen almost any OEM (omgtehbest) wheel destroyed in any sort of way. There is no exception for work or any other wheel company.
