Koseis are not immune. The spokes have been known to crack. It's a combo of your suspension, roads, tire profile and luck (IMO).
Typically, there's a trade off for every aspect and weight isn't exempt.
Just be careful and you should be ok.
I have Koseis in 15 x 7 (bangin on wood) with no issues to date.
The Koseis aren't really that strong viewed as a wheel in general, it's just the 15" size with the accompanying huge sidewall that helps it out. Larger sizes get a lot worse.
Check out the Team Dynamics Pro Race wheels also. Similar weights and sizes as the Koseis, known to be pretty solid on the track.
Personally, I like to run strong wheels on the street, even if they are a bit heavier. Bending wheels on crappy streets sucks.
