Default 991.1 GTS Wheel Repair

I have a new to me 991.1 GTS. The wheels are in perfect condition, but they won't stay that way. My wife has a way with wheels.

Anyone had good luck repairing these wheels? Or should I be slowly acquiring them on eBay in preparation for the inevitable?
Or does someone have any luck with a wheel insurance company that will actually replace the wheels from curbing.

Do you have CL or 5-lug wheels?

5 Lug are inexpensive when buying pre-owned. Otherwise I would say just have them repaired when damage happens, cheaper than buying CL wheels.

I think it was APEX Centerlock Wheels that were very affordable. Install those when your wife is driving.
