My first road/touring bike had shit wheels that went out of true on the first ride and popped a couple of spokes on the rear within a fortnight.
Generally my experience has been that wheels are either obviously shit from the start (Tiagra/Omega something or other) or they'll hold up fine for a few thousand miles of punishment before popping a spoke (Varno's cheap fixed gear wheelset, Shimano R501s, DT Swiss R24 disc).
I should note that I'm about 94kg. Maybe lighter people wouldn't see issues occurring so quickly.

People who states that the wheels have held up fine to three weeks of punishment makes me giggle.
