Other than aesthetic, why Deep V's?

everyone keeps telling me theyre stronger. i've yet to experience that. i've fucked up two pair of Deep v's, and i've never even thrown my mavic rims out of true.
i just got a pair of DT swiss RR1.2's back from paint and they look amazing, ride even better and are some of the most durable wheels i've ridden. they have a deeper dish and a smoother ride than deep vs.
but like Smith said. nothing wrong if you like cute wheels. i just spent the same price i paid for the wheels getting them painted.
i got the response i expected...

Deep V's actually are weaker laterally than lo profile ones do due to their shape, but they do have increased vertical strength compared to low profile ones, just as a general rule.

don't know what you did to your deep v's, but i've had a pair built to ambrosio hubs for my polo wheels for the past year and a half. they are friggin bomb proof, each has about 20 dents due to hard polo balls, i've ridden with 1-2-3 spokes missing, replaced about 20+ spokes, had hundreds of crashes, dropped of stairs, run straight over curbs.

i like open pro's, but no way are they stronger than deep v's.
