... scratched, chipped, etc. wheels holler up. My wheels just don't look so showroom-like anymore, even after a good wash. Maybe the harsh road conditions played a role in the damages from the past year and a half.

Don't worry about it. It's part of driving a car.
I hydroplaned into a curb while taking a lean curve and rashed my two right rims big time. Now I just don't worry about it. If push comes to shove, I'll get new wheels, but it's no big deal.

I have a 2000 E55 with the stock 18" monoblocks. I have recently gotten all of them repaired and refinished. Cost was $600 for all four. They absolutely look brand new!
