I agree on the coating. It isn't powdercoat or clear paint, it's a ceramic coating that gets cleaned like you would a chrome wheel. Perfect for a car that gets driven.
I had it on my Budniks and also had my new Vintage Wheels done. The place they use is Specialized Coatings in S. California. you can still have yours done.
