Default Anyone with an IS-F have any of their wheels chip yet?

Anyone with an IS-F here have any of their wheels chipped yet just from normal driving? I noticed on just one of my wheels that I already have 2 chips. I'm not sure if this is because the paint is more frail on that one. All the other wheels are perfect.

I got a decent-sized chip on my passenger front wheel when the car was exactly one-week old. I used a sharpie to touch it up in the mean time. It actually works well!

Yeah it sucks...

Road debris and rocks, especially FWY driving... will leave chips on the painted wheels...

I have few nice ones on my 08' Lexus Liquid Graphite finish wheels..
