If you're doing lots of hard track driving and bouncing off curbs or hitting other rough spots consistently you'll be more prone to bend most aftermarket wheels, but if you're not constantly going 10/10ths and slamming curbs on the track and running through potholes aftermarket should be just fine.
The SS 1LE OEM wheels aren't. I believe they are at flow-formed. Take a look at the info on the barrel - they say cast.
