Also, let's not forget that plenty of pothole damaged/cracked wheels are just as likely to be oversized wheels with really low profile tires.

I'd imagine that nearly anything in a 17" would have much issue with potholes, since there's plenty of rubber and air between the ground and the actual wheel hub. Throw a 19-20" on the car with 1/3 the sidewall of a oem setup? Sure, that's gunna hurt when it goes bang, I don't care WHO made the wheels.

But i'd be pretty surprised to see much issue with any brand's 17" wheel on our car (with properly sized tires) have much of an issue holding up.
