I had the same wheels powder coated from Peter at wheelexperts

No issues until I had to repair them threw local dealer and they did a terrible job had to have it done over by other wheel repair company.

Best wheels by far on a Cayenne

You're not serious are you???

1) PC cooks your aluminum at over 400 degrees in addition to the pre-bake "if" your PC guy does it correct. Weakening the wheels. . .

2) Most PC that I've seen never gets pre-treated in other words they PC right over your old paint!!!!

3) PC is a "*****" to remove at a later time if you want to re-do the wheels.

4) If you want an orange-peal like look then go right ahead, destory a new wheel.

BACK TO THE POST

You need to have your wheels hard-baked in a semi-gloss finish period.

If you ever see a PC wheel with engraving you'll notice the PC cakes in the grooves and just looks crappy with orange peal. Those who have already done it will defend it to the bitter end so allow me to save you before you make a big mistake.

If you wish to speak with a wheel expert feel free to PM me for further information.
