Default quicky... Will Rota Rims rust if scratched?

Yup, that was it, will Rota Rims rust if scratched. Stupid mounters cratched it all up and deep inside (painted over with touch up... but... and even an alignment guy managed to scratch around the outter lip. Touch up will look bad, worse than the scratches on the lip. So I am wondering if the rims will rust. They will be taken care of IE washed etc.. but also seeing major miles, and many diversified conditions.

Thank you

didnt think so, at least, not in the way car bodies etc... and normal steel would. But since Rota is a knock off, I wasn't sure what metal was used, and what it would act like.
