Question will lightweight wheels dent easily?

I'm going to subscribe to this notion that if i drop weight on the corners that i'll gain some decent performace. I remember some physics and it makes sense to me. ANyway, if i put these 13 pound centerline wheels on and drive them around town are they going to dent when i go over potholes etc..
thanks for the help.
peace and booty grease

no easier then heavy cast wheels...

most lightweight wheels = forged = lighter & stronger.

NICE! I can't wait to see them. Awesome wheels. I assume you are going with the 17x7?

I almost got them, but offset sucks, so I am looking for some other wheel. I do not want offset of less then +50.
