Powder coatings are much more durable than painted finishes so the look should last forever!

But, it's not my taste - the wheels seem to have a flat black industrial look that (IMHO) does not complement the car.

That said, it's different than what we've been accustomed to seeing on cars for years and accepting change can take some time.
