Not sure if I am entirely right about this but I remember in my Audi days people were saying that the heat generated in the powder coating process was not good for wheels and could actually weaken them?

Thanks for the input. I see and have seen tons of BMWs with black rims and I always assume that they are powder coated because they are gloss black, could I be wrong? I know they aren't plastidipped because plastidipping gives more of a matte finish and I want a high gloss finish as I think it looks better and higher quality. I am also leasing and I asked my dealer if powder coating was an issue and they said that it wasn't, so I am not really concerned as to how they are going to look like in the long run (3+ years).
Thanks.
