Meh. Good carbon rims will hold up fine. Bad ones won't. Just like metal, or, really, anything else in the world. I'd be more worried about the spokes than the rims in general, though; CF rims tend to be stronger than metal ones, and are better able to flex instead of just breaking if you hit a pothole at speed.
