You could get them sand blasted and powder coated, that would make them as bulletproof as you can get, not sure how much that would cost.

They cheapest option is to repair them yourself, tape off the tire, sand them down, and respray, and use a 2 part clear coat.

Or buy a good set of used ones, swap them out, and sell these as is.

yup, good recommendation! I have the luxury wheels so I’m going down to the local automotive paint shop and picking up some good PPG paint. I’ll be doing this before the winter hits so in the next week or so!

Remember to use a urethane paint and 2K/2 part clear. The person who painted those wheels likely did not use a urethane paint or 2 part clear or the surface was not prepped properly which is why the paint failed so early.
