Default Powder coat wheels?

I just bought a 2nd set of wheels for Miss Scarlett. One set will be for track tires and one set for all season tires. Wheels I ordered with the car are gloss black (currently installed), the new wheels are silver. The silver ones have almost new all season tires and I like the style a little more than my OEM ones; however, I like the look of the black tires on the car.

For those that have powder coated your wheels, how long did the coating last? Were you happy with the results?

TIA

I 'am sure your black wheels are power coated.

I've powder coated several sets. All lasted just fine. Make sure your coater has experience with wheels.
