Not really as the underlying metal is fine, the issue at play is the overall thin paint system Borbet are using powder is a) expensive b) limited in colour choice for many c) eco cred for using environmentally friendly paints etc.
This is why many have moved away from it for OEM wheels and unfortunately in many cases it is no where near as "strong" (excluding the potential for imperfect surface prep and sealing as well as cracking of the powder) as powder based wheel coatings.
This is before I even bring up Diamond Cut finishes.
