Default 15" 5zigen FN01R-C; Quality?

I'm interested in purchasing a set of 15x7" 5zigen FN01R-C's, but I've heard that they break easily. I know they're a popular rim and many people own them. So I'd appreciate some feedback from anyone who knows about them, thanks.

I got the 16's and havent had any problems so far, but I havent put them on the track. I have taken them to the mountains and worked them over really good, and the streets around here aint worth a expletive and given them a beatin. This has only been for a little over 2 months now. Everyone likes the way they look though. I got the black ones. The biggest thing most people like is how the center where the lugs are is polished. I cant tell when I am drivin but they say it looks really good with the center being polished and the lip being polished when going down the highway.

I've had them for for maybe 2 years. I haven't really abused them. However I have developed a chip in one. Looks like I took a rock just on the inside of the lip. But I really don't think you can stop that sort of stuff.

I had a 15" bronze set a year ago. I loved those wheels. No problems with paint chipping or breaking spokes. The paint on the centercaps fade to silver pretty quickly though.

If they are JWL, VIA certified then they should be fine...
