Lightweight wheels more prone to crack?
All my time spent on this board, I have never heard anyone say this, but I guess it makes sense... I was looking into buying some light wheels, but a guy at a dealership said that in our climate with lots of potholes, they may crack, so i should get regular wheels which are 3-5 lbs heavier... is this true?

Construction
It all depends on the manufacturing process. Check out the above links.
