Default Anyone DD on Weld RTS wheels?

I'm curious if anyone has put say 10,000 miles on some RTS wheels. Reason I ask, I'm a dealer for a few brands and I have not personally put a lot of miles on Weld wheels since my ProStar days.

Many people road race on them and are constantly running over the curbing on the turn apexes.

No, not the same as daily driving on bombed out city streets, but they still must be pretty tough to handle the above.

(I don't know if they make a thinner walled, lighter, and more fragile RTS for drag racing ONLY, and if they do, and that was what you were asking, then disregard the above.)

I have them on my car. Its not a daily driver but it is 100% street driven weekend cruiser. I haven't had any issues. I have them in 17x9.5 and 17x11.

I've had mine for just over 2 years. I've put well over 10,000 on mine. No issues at all.

I have over 14K on mine before i sold them. 15x4 and 15x10. I drove the WEEEE out of them on VA streets with nary an issue. I reluctantly sold them and will likely buy them again but possibly polished instead.

I'm interested in the responses too. I'm looking at getting a set eventually and I'll be doing around 8k/yr straight up DD duty if they will hold up.
