i got my oz wheels powder coated last year by IPF in scotland. and i cant recomend them enough. powder coating is a hard durable finish which is baked onto the metal and is more resiliant to chips and road grime.

powder coating is the way to go mate

There is a place local(ish) to me called Romax who I will be taking my wheels to. They charge £40 per wheel, and remove the tyres and put them back on, and rebalance them!
Which I think is a super deal.
