I am considering Centerline RPM wheels. (I think minihune has them). I was just wondering since they "cook" the wheels when they powdercoat them will the wheel lose strength? They are forged wheels if that matters.
Thanks

The amount of heat used in the powder coating process will not harm the wheels at all.

Remember, they are forged at incredible high temps, way beyond the temperature of the oven at the powder coating shop.

What color are you powdercoating them?

I know this dude that selling a silver set for 700. Since I want white and they are about 325 a wheel new, it will be cheaper for me to buy these for 700 and powdercoat them.
