Powder coated outers hold up to the elements super well, and are easy to clean. Like any finish, if you curb your wheel, it will scratch, there's no defense for that, other than wider tires, or the "correct" width tire for the right rim width so there is some tire protection there. But if you are referring to rain, washing, and detailing, powder coat is very durable, and easy to keep up.
