Might go with an eBay one and hope for the best, they are obviously OEM but who knows, they could have been cheaply powder coated too lol.

I have sprayed the wheels off with a pressure washer tho. If you get good adherance, it's not coming off except if you scrape it off like curb rash. Other than that, it's tough. The pics just look like shoddy work to me.

Which wheels did you have powdercoated? From what I've read recently forged aluminum shouldn't be powdered but painted instead. I guess that's why the OE Ray's are painted?
