"Just thought id add a little blog up, to make people aware of the risk of damage that powdercoating wheels can have.
Essentially powdercoating wheels if done at too high a temperature CAN weaken an alloy wheel.
As such we do not warranty wheels that have been powdercoated, spray them as much as you want, polish them if you want, but powdercoating is a no-no
Heres a picture of an S2000 wheel (OEM Honda) 100% reliable standard wheel.
This guy had them powdercoated and the first time out this happened to ALL four of his wheels.
The other picture is a standard 350Z wheel, AGAIN powdercoated."
