well every rim is gonna bend if you hit against something hard enought, all rims scratch. i have had my konigs on my car for almost two years now, they are great wheels i love them, they hold up better than a lot of my friends wheels. i have a buddy who bent the only set of volk te-37's made in his size and bolt pattern in america, no joke either. he called ray engineering and he was like i dented my rim in an accident and the guy was like well i only know of one set in the size and bolt pattern that was shipped to the US. so he ended up having to replace all four wheels with some volk gt-p's. anyways back to the subject. the reason the rims mess up because people are dumbasses and run into curbs. the reason mine have lasted is because i take care of them. when i bought them i didn't have a job, so i had to get the cheapest price rims i could find. i ended up going with my konigs. the only thing wrong with them is some black scuff marks from the wheels balancing machine at my local cheap tire shop. im not going back there again. the scuff can easily be buffed out. and also the massive amount of grease from when one of my cv boots busted open and spewed grease everywhere. yes konigs are cheap wheels but as long as you aren't a dumbass and you take care of them they will last like mine have. thats my 2 cents
