Sure, plenty have. I have 3 sets. One of them has 3 years on it, including 2 Michigan salty winters. Looks great.

I have never done it; but I was advised this is the way to go if you want to paint your wheels. If you use reg paint the paint will come off rather quickly.

Powder coating is rather durable...
