Everyone is entitled to an opinion, and I respect that, but as I mentioned before, I posted to get technical feedback, and not a discussion about product quality.

This was relevant because that racist dude was whining about products made in China and Bikewise was just filling him in on how things work.
We know your dura-ace wheels are not Chinese made crap, they are not even made in China. The outcome is obvious, you will get a warranty replacement wheel but to answer your other question, I have never seen this before. Most of the dura-ace wheels I have seen were still alloy rims and they seemed to hold up great.
