Wez Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 You do know that powder coating your wheels can weaken them? Can you expand on this a little Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Can you expand on this a little afaik it's when they're heated mate, makes them structurally weaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 afaik it's when they're heated mate, makes them structurally weaker. Normal powder coating heats the wheel to a point that removes the temper. You have to use a special powder coating process that doesn't use as much heat and retains the temper of the alloy. Wow, that sounded like I know what I'm talking about!
