There is no reason you couldn't. All exxcept where the centerlock nut goes.

I did, but for some odd reason they got stained...maybe a chemical that I used of something...not sure. Mine are satin black!

General rule for all wheels; never use a wheel cleaner on a hot wheel, and do not allow it to dry on the wheel. |

Very common. Powder coat seems more durable than paint from chipping and physical damage, but it seems more susceptible to damage from chemicals and wheel cleaners.

Mine are factory gloss back just to give you an idea of what it looks like.

Isn’t there a precaution you have to take when powder coating in reference to the temperature the wheel is big after being painted? |
No different than painting, except on 3-piece where you need to fully disassemble and re-silicone after PC...
