Understand what you're saying and bring up valid points. As I stated previously it all depends on the usage and the roads itself. I was in my wife's MKIV GLI with factory BBS RC wheels and she hit a small pothole driving 30 mph and bent the rim without having a blowout. I was very surprised based on the impact. The GLI is stock. This case goes to show any wheel is inevitably vulnerable at any time of day or night (in this case).
