I agree. The painting process used by the factory on wheels is a whole lot more complicated than just a spray job. I had my street wheels powder coated in gloss black, and my track wheels from CCW are powder coated also. (by CCW)
No chipping or problems with either set.

I would like my stock wheels painted gloss black as well. Can you recommend where I can get mine powder coated.
Thanks.

Powder coating is more durable but adds about .5 lbs per wheel in my experience.
Most people believe heating the wheels the amount required for powderocoating (400 degrees IIRC) is not enough to damage anything. After all rotors get hot enought to glow on the track and wheels are a big heat sink....
