Being able to keep your wheels in good condition doesn't mean your car is a "garage queen", but rather that you know how to drive....

The rest of us hit the curb every now and then. This has been covered many times before, there's many posts of people asking where to get curbage fixed, and it is a lot easier to fix painted wheels.
If you've never been slightly distracted by some pretty girl while trying to park, you're either lying or 
Curbage aside, roads have all sorts debris that could cause chips and scratches on your wheels too, and most driven cars will have chips and scratches to show for it.

| My wheels are absolutely mint after 60,000 km of driving....but okay I guess that could by some slight chance happen...but powder coating holds up against that much better than wet paint anyway....

Jokes aside tho they do have nicks and pits in them from road debris but that is un-avoidable. Likely going to get my wheels re Powder Coated soon.
I'll probable sand blast them myself to save some $$$$

| 1 Stop Shop - Sure Blast Ltd.
If you're looking for media blasting and powder coating, my family business, Sure Blast Ltd., offers a one stop shop. They contract out the powdercoating but works closely with three preferred suppliers so they are able to get good lead times and prices. I'm pretty biased as it is my parent's business but check out Google reviews if you want to see what others say.
