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. |
Besides ignorance, your lack of humility is just as palpable.
I never questioned the logic of powder coating, just gave my reasons for having my wheels painted. I don't have to break down a wheel to fix a chip; Dr. Colorchip works just fine with the wheel on the car.
I've spent a lot of time on the Atlantic coastline in Florida and never had a problem with salt erosion on the paint. My cars are kept washed and waxed.
Instead of throwing a bunch of absolutes out there as fact, why not engage the rest of us in conversation? Ignorant arrogance is not a virtue.
