[QUOTE="ayoustin, post: 1639572, member: 28480"] I've powder coated my own parts for a few years and I've accidently nicked the finish on one of my bead lock wheels. If the factory finish is powder coat it's the thinnest, cheapest powder coat I've ever seen. I'm more than certain it's paint. Also, if you ever remove your beauty ring you'll see some areas where the paint is thin or nonexistent because the ring covers the area. Which means the wheels are painted at the factory with the rings installed. If they were powder coated you'd have faraday cages in these areas and no powder would ever get there and you'd have crazy inconsistent powder thickness at those gaps. [/QUOTE]
