I honestly think that if you know you are going to have to drive around on a rough surface and it might scuff up the wheels, you should buy a second set of wheels and change them out before ship. That will be the only way to ensure that your wheels are close to out of the box.

Remember it is each team's own responsibility to comply with the rules, and if you don't you are at risk of not being able to play. Honestly I would rather be changing my weels to a new set at my shop before ship then in my pit on Thursday night so I can pass inspection.
