I just ran a quick search. Some said it had to do with sandblasting or those shops that powder coat at higher temps (eg 400 degrees) or for extended periods. Additionally, BMW does offer some black wheels and it made me wonder which process was used for them.

Back to topic, even with skilled installer, I think Vinyl will look better; especially if wrapping entire vehicle..
