They are now. I put it on the right hand side looking at it. Didnt think about that pic being older.
 
Worlds worst powder coating job?

It would seem so.

They are Eagle Alloys. I always thought they were a good wheel manufacturer. I put them on in 08 and they have a 100k on them but I never expected them to look like that.

I've seen plenty of wheels with paint coming off inside. Nobody washes the inside, brake dust collects, which collects other stuff, which holds moisture. Eventually some combination of those factors penetrates the coating and there's no stopping it. I wouldn't feel too bad about getting 10 years out of them. Wheel weights will do the same thing to the outside of an OEM wheel, and they put a lot of R&D and quality into their coatings.

We visited the USS North Carolina today, and to be there on Memorial day was quite moving. Especially watching the videos, reading the firsthand accounts and letters, and imagining what it was like being on this huge ship in the Pacific ocean in the early 1940s, actively engaged in a war. Contrary to the face he's making, little man had a good time too.

I hope they put some A/C in that thing since I was there in the 80's.

Kinda. It was still a bit stuffy, but there were about 4 heat pumps sitting around the decks, blowing air through the original ventilation system. It was not cool, but I appreciated that it was not super hot and humid. Imagine living on that in the Pacific for 4 years with no AC...
 
With the last few weeks of rain, my flowering plants have really gone crazy. Rose bush has doubled in size, and the color is so bright that my camera had a hard time focusing on it. Good job rain, now go away.
