Looking to protect my new alloys – any recommendations near MBZ City?

[owenpumphrey]

I finally treated myself to a set of gorgeous new alloy wheels for my sedan, and honestly I’ve been paranoid about damaging them ever since they went on the car. I spent way too much money on these to have them end up looking like my old rims with curb rash all over the edges, so I’m trying to be proactive this time and actually protect them before they get destroyed. I’ve been looking into different options like ceramic coatings and those rim guard strips, but I’m not really sure which one offers the best protection without looking weird or affecting the way the tires seat. I park on the street a lot and the spaces in my area are pretty tight, so it’s almost inevitable that I’ll end up brushing against a curb at some point, and I want to be prepared. I’ve heard there’s a specialist rim coating and protection center in MBZ City that does really clean work applying protective films and coatings that actually last, but I haven’t been able to find much info on them. Has anyone here taken their wheels somewhere to get protected and been happy with the results? I’m particularly curious about whether these coatings actually prevent scratches or just make it slightly easier to clean off brake dust. I’d appreciate any honest feedback because I really want to keep these rims looking as good as the day I bought them for as long as possible.
