That's the thing, if it can't withstand pressure washing I'll just get a new wheel. In 25 years of pressure washing cars, some pushing 300k miles, I've never had paint peel off from anywhere on a car or a wheel.

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.
