I've heard shitty things from people about powdercoating wheels. Bad fitment on the hub due to the thickness of the powdercoat.

Personally, I'd find someone who has a sandblaster big enough to house these, and have them go over them. Then you can go about painting them/refinishing.

I would send them to a "media" blaster. It does less damage than sandblasting, preserves the outer texture of the metal, but costs more. Powder coating is thicker than paint and can cause fit problems. There is a special masking tape for it.

Sand the hub if there are any fitment problems. Or you could just tell them not to spray certain areas. They uses plain ole masking tape where i go. Saw them do a couple of valve covers.

Blunt, Talk to One21Two (Marlon.) He bought my RS001's and just had them powder coated. Check out his post here for more details.

Here's a pic of them (and him, I know how you like that.)
