No they won't damage the wheel. Some people have them shot or bead blasted and powder coated rather than resprayed.

its to get all the old paint off and get it back to the metal so you provide a good clean, smooth surface to paint on

Good preperation is key to a good finish :afro:

Powder coated also gives a more durable finish I believe

how deep are the marks in the first picture?

I'd think that's repairable though
