Don't fool yourself, a powder coated wheel can get a stone chip; I've seen it numerous times. I don't deny that powder coating isn't a much more durable coating, but it does have some drawbacks too. I've got two nicks on my powder coated calipers, so it can happen.
As with everything else, it's all a function of the environment you drive your car in. |
God the ignorance is palpable. Yeah manufactures know best! Hey 09-11's how's you oil temps doing with no oil cooler? I could name a million things they do wrong. I never said PC didn't chip, in fact I did say it chips. But no one here is going to want to break a wheel down every time a chip happens as I said, therefore dip is a great easy cheap solution. Whether you live in snow environments or not you still have sand blasting out west, rocks and gravel else where, salt water by the oceans etc. I'd never paint because it never lasts! I could also care less about a company I've never heard of who paints wheels. I bet they're real performers
. Funny my enkie rpf1 (which I'm sure has RS beat every way possible) are PC'ed.
