So far I've owned three sets of high end aftermarket wheels that were ordered in gloss black. Two sets were painted with standard automotive paint, while the third was powder coated. The uniform coverage and consistency of the two that were "painted", was far superior to that of the set that was powder coated . In fact, I was so disappointed with the lack of coverage on the powder coated wheels, that I sent them back for another coating . Unfortunately, the results were the same - poor coverage down inside the lugs, inconsistencies around the spoke windows etc .... In my case, maybe I just had a bad experience, but I much prefer traditional painting when it comes to wheels .
