There are several reasons why they could be that way.

1. They didn't strip and blast them completely.
2. They just weren't good at powder coating.
3. They used less than acceptable powder or a crappy gun to coat.
4. They used powder with a textured finish.


When I do I wheel...I strip the paing chemically in a strip tank, then rinse it thoroughly...then sand blast it completely, then rinse, dry, and prep..then coat!!!!

Theres alot of older AMG wheels running around, you should run an MB World special to strip and powder coat. Just an idea.
