Thumbs up

At some point I'll be upgrading to some 20" and I'm looking at a bunch of different finishes.
I'm wondering if anyone that is running with painted outer barrels notice any durability issues.

Are you seeing alot of scratches from daily use. (Not curb damage, just basic road debris) Would a chrome lip hold up better?

Here's a pic to describe the painted barrell look better in case I'm not making any sense.

If it's done right there will be no problems.
