One of the powder coaters here has an old wheel that a customer never paid for and never picked up that he uses for demos now. He'll hit the thing as hard as he can with a hammer and wont leave a chip. He said PC is durable up to 18,000 psi or something like that before it chips.

Personally I'd go with black. It shows the least dirt, and it goes with the rest of the black on the bike. Gold would be another suggestion, but I'd prefer that to come on the set of Marchesini wheels.

That's what I'm saying... if it fails otherwise, it was due to the person putting it on, not doing it right.
