Are there members here that have powdercoated stock rims? If so, I would love to see them I want to get some Volks, but I am being told they take up to 3 months to get here, so I was thinking about just waiting a year and ordering them over the winter months...but I'd like something different for this summer. It's for a RR Evo, and I was really interested to see what bronze looked like.

i just got mine powercoated gloss black....just got them on yesterday and i love them

Pics?

yes pics?!

Search around, theres alot of threads on them.

What are some of the negatives? I've heard heat won't dissapate correctly from them and can cause cracking..is there any truth to this?

powdercoat won't crack or chip.... only way i believe it comes off is ifs scratches, ex. curbed...

how about some pics?
all the info that I have read indicates that you need to pc them with a low temp, below 350 deg.

thinking about pc the stock enkies for my yellow evo. windows tinted dark and think it would look good.....

hahaha thats been done allready .

but it sure is hot.

looks good

Looks good

When I was looking into powdercoating a set of BBS wheels for my BMW, I was warned by several people that it was a VERY bad idea. Apparently, the baking process weakens the aluminum, which can lead to failure. One local powdercoating shop refused to do the work...they'll only powdercoat steel wheels.

Anyway, I would look into this some more before proceeding.
