Default Superleggras - rumour of poor strength etc

I was about to order a set of OZ superleggras for my car but have heard a few reports that the rims are quite weak and sucepible to buckling easily - who has the wheels here? Have you had any problems with them?

Cheers

I have Superleggeras on mine and they're a nice wheel, only problem ive had is i ran over someones exhaust backbox at about 60-70 which has dented the rim ever so slightly, doesnt effect the bead though, dont know whether that makes it a strong wheel or not, it was a hell of a bang!

Cheers guys - still probably go for the ultraleggeras anyway - as they're newer.
