Aluminum wheels breaking

Doing a bunch of minor upgrades for the upcoming riding season, and tires are one of the things on my list to upgrade.

I’ve seen a few threads over the past 2 years or so about the factory aluminum wheels getting holes in them from debris around the brakes etc. How much do I need to worry about this? If I need to get bigger (14in) wheels, I’ll be holding off on new tires for now since I’ll be getting beadlocks when I do go down that road.

Also, this happened last year lol.
