2 actually.


That was some guy from the Bay Area I belive that had his wheels powder coated


I belive it is from when the powder is baked on what weakens the wheel. Also if a wheel is to crack the powder coat will not crack so you will have no idea. Just paint them please.

it basically comes down to making sure they cook them at less than 400 degrees. at least thats what my research showed.
