Black wheel owners..rims scratch in mud??

I'm about to get some black 18's for my JK. I'm sure it will be in the mud every now and then. When you mud, does it scratch your black wheels?

Go ahead and assume any wheel can get scratched somehow or another. Just a matter of can you handle them getting scratched?
Possibly consider black steel wheels. Easy touchup with paint.

I'd be more worried about scratches on my jk doors and such than my wheels. Black = easy touch up.

Naahh, I ain't really worried bout scratches anymore but thats me, more scrathes the better. I'll re-paint if it gets too bad. Thinking about OD green or Camo, flat of course.

Any wheel subject to abuse will get scratched... you can touch up black or keep polishing your polished rims. Either way its going to take some maintenance and care...
