That was early days of powder coating now it doesn't have to be as hot as earlier applications......

To expand on Glen's comments regarding Forgeline, Dave Schardt from Forgeline posted this comment on the Porsche forum in regards to the question of powder coating versus painting.
Powder coat if done correctly is a superior finish than paint. It resist chemicals, scratches and chipping far better than paint. If done correctly as well, it does not impact the strength or structure of the wheel. 100% of our racing team customers run powder coated wheels and love the durability and easy clean up of the finish.
On the other side of that, we powder coat all of our product in-house and have complete control of the process. If you take your wheels to a finisher that does not do wheels on a regular basis, then you take your chances. Stick with wheel finishers such as Wheel Medic here in Ohio or Wheels America who has locations all over the country.
