Default Wheel Damage/Repair

I have a 2003 LX470 that has slight damage to the wheel finish. The damage looks like rock chips similar to what you might find on the leading edge of your hood. There are probably 3-4 small areas like this on 3 of the 4 wheels. Are there any suggestions on a simple way to keep these areas from growing worse (ie water getting underneath and destroying the finish)? I was thinking about using super glue on the spots to keep our water and any other moisture. Thoughts?
