20 inch wheels and 700 miles soft???

Had car approx 1 mo and have less than 700 miles. No curb hits and hardley ever drive the car. However when buying had to drive car back 350 miles and since then not a daily driver. However as of today two small nicks on either side of the rear wheels. On the passenger seen small on the rim area but looks like a rock drilled it and then on drivers on fat part of spoke. Both are small but since I know they are there stick out.

First the weeks seem very suseptible to rocks like this more so than other cars like my tahoe??? Anyone else??

Also if I wan these little areas repaired is there mobile UNITs in the Dallas fort worth area that can repair??

The paint on this car (mine anyways) was very fragile from the factory. I got chips out the ass in the front for the first couple of months. But now it seems like its a lot tougher. My rear rims got a couple chips here and there too, which seemed to slow down compared to the first couple of months.

Not sure if one if those things like really pay attention to since so new. However anal about keeping it clean. Today I was like dam why can't anything stay brand spaken new. My old Audi tt same way wheels get eaten up for some reason. My wife of course stated just a car! Wheel knicks make me second guess myself coming to close to curves or potholes and don't want to baby took much that I can't enjoy it. Seeing blimishes makes me second guess my driving and it shouldn't. I know no curb was hit but then I question how the he'll it got there ESP on the rim. Arrgggg probably my over the top OCD. Figure if I hit a curb I would know for sure and would eat up the wheel since riding so low. Of well everything like this can be fixed if to anal I guess

I popped a curb a few weeks back that I didn't see and scraped the front right wheel. I about threw-up. You can't see the scrape unless you are looking for it but I know it is there and it drives me crazy.
