I don't think that any of these wheel suppliers do their own coating. They send them out so they do not control the process. If a company is having financial problems then they use cheaper sub-suppliers. Chrome can have the same problem.

I have had mine for over ten years but only had them mounted for the last two. They were stored in the garage the whole time. No blemishes even on the ones that were not stored in the box.

I'm not much of a fan on the powder coating especially in the area I live where there is sand on the roads from winter maintenance. I had powder coated side steps on my pickup that only lasted a couple years because of the abrasion . Powder coated wheels would likely be the same..

I've heard some back reviews about being bent or taking a lot of weight to balance. Wheelsmith has a better reputation and I believe the powder coater they use is next door.

We have 22" bus wheels powder coated at work. A large regional tire dealer does it for us. We use a red color similar to yours. We have had it fade, and not hold up where the back side mounts on the hub. But out of hundreds of wheels I have never seen what you have going on there.
If you are game to try again, seek out a local commercial truck tire dealer and see what they can do for you. At least they would stand behind their work.

I have blasted powder coat before and it is really tough to remove if it adhered properly. It is usually removed with some nasty chemical that is hazardous enough that the manufacturer brings it to you directly.
