    it's not the powdercoating, it's the baking that weakens CAST aluminum wheels. brent and his koseis were a prime example of that a few years back.

      Agreed that is why you use a company that knows how to do it.

                        Looks very good though! any plans for the lips?
                        I've been told that its OK to PC multi piece rims, especially for the center but not sure about the barrels, definitely no PCing for 1 piece rims. And also to never autox/track PC'd wheels. They do look good.

                                I just realized how hot all gold RS's would be, including the lip, because of that picture. DO IT.

                                Which reminded me of this pic that I posted in your thread about which color you should paint them:
