American Racing Teflon Wheels - How are they holding up?

[Brian1]

So it has been a few years now since American Racing came out with the Teflon wheels. I am thinking about getting some Chamber wheels soon and wanted to know how the Teflon wheels were holding up? Do they scratch easy? Does the teflon wear off after time? Rock rash effects? Touch-ups?

What do you think? The lighting of the wheels are probably off, I think the rims would be a little darker.

Nice choice of wheels if you get them, I was actually looking at the polished versions for my tow rig/DD.
I have no experience with the teflon coating but I think touching up rock rash would be a problem. Probably something you'll just have to live with. One thing I like about my Walker Evans streetlocks is that I can touch up or change color of the rings whenever I like. I'm actually changing color on them soon from the flat gray thats on there now to flat black.

I did find this pic on the net of rock rash:

but I have been wheeling the Explorer for many years and have only taken a few small chunks out of the very outer lip of the rim on only 2 wheels.
