I have seen a lot of fresh powder coated wheels before, even have a set myself, and i have never seen anyone re coat the hub surface.
While I was waiting for the tow truck i checked out the other nuts and other front all were loose :oops: by loose i mean i could have undone em there 7 then..........rears were also looser than they should have been.
