konig helium durability

Hi there, new fit owner here. Recently got a 2013 honda fit (wish i got the sport trim...but anyway..)

I have steelies right now but plan to get a new set of Konig Helium. I'm just a regular city driver, no plan to further mod the car or ever take it to track. I am wondering how durable are the Konig Helium? Does it really get bent that easily for city driving? Is it fixable most of the time when it does get bent??

This is my first time buying aftermarket wheels so just want to know what to expect down the road. I do have another CRV for longer road trips and I do have another set of winter tires on factory alloys.

Any comments/experience is much appreciated!

You'll be fine. Just don't run too short of a sidewall.

^ This. Been almost 3 years with mine, still in great shape. I run 195-60-R15 on mine. I also bought hub centric rings. If memory serves its a 73.1mm hub bore on the Helium, and a 56.1mm bore on the Fit. But double check that, I don't trust my memory.

I have 15" Konig Feathers, which is a bit similar to Heliums.

Had them on my 00 Civic for a while (maybe ~10 years). When I sold the car I kept them in the garage for later use... Now i use them for winter tires on the Fit.

No problem yet.

Any good size pot hole will take any wheel out. OEM or aftermarket. So stay away from bad roads and you will have no issues.
