How hard to bend rim?

OK, so I just put on my 20 iForged daytonas. Will have pics as soon as I can get my camera to work. But my question is, I know these rims are made of a pretty good quality, but how hard/easy is it really to bend or crack them. Will just going over a small pot hole at slow speeds do it or what?? Please chim in with any expiriences. TIA

i slow down quite a bit over rough roads trying to dodge any large
pot holes. imho, it's a pita when you run these expensive wheels over
bad or unknown roads, but it's just part of the game.

i have several brand new spare wheels (1 front and 2 rear) just
in case.

I have 19's on my sedan. I've wrecked two tires so far (road debris/potholes), but my wheels have remained intact. Since your forged wheels are stronger than my cast wheels I would hope you will be OK.
