Nope. They're knockoffs and they're cheap, but they're not unreliable.
It takes a serious impact to bend a Rota wheel, let alone make it shatter. I know this from experience. Manila roads are atrocious, but I haven't had any bending on my Rotas until I had a run-in with a runaway wheel chock snaking across the highway at 80 km/h.
In the end Slipstreams are just lightweight cast wheels that just so happen to be made by a company that isn't Desmond or Spoon. Just get what you want and don't let brand snobbery get in the way.
I'm saving up for RAYS Gram Lights 57Gs, but for now my Circuit 10s will take my abuse on road and track...so far they haven't failed.
