If you hit a wheel straight, it is immensely strong. Plenty of frames have been wrecked by wheel-impact crashes where the wheel survives entirely unscathed.
This, for pretty much any steel fork (but especially a track fork with round blades) on any moderately close clearance frame. It doesn't have to be dangerously tight before the impact.
