Angry Konigs wheels are garbage....

I just got a set of Konig ReTrack wheels about a month ago. I've never bought a set of cheap wheels in my life....

Yesterday I was washing my car out front of my house with my bottle of simple green, soft wheel brush and a garden hose and to my suprise in the water I saw white chunks of powdercoating floating down my street! All around the hub has flaked off, and has gone into my spokes now too. Its just falling off.

I've never used an impact gun on my wheels and have always torqued by hand with a torque wrench.

Anyone else experienced this?
