Those with the wheels different color... did you powdercoat or did you just paint? How's it holding up?

I used spray paint for mine. Seems to be holding up fine so far but it's only been about a month or so. I don't expect it to last too long. Eventually I think I'll get them powdercoated though.

Wouldn't powdercoating weaken the wheel integrity?

never, the curing of the powder is around 350-390F. when your at the track next check you rim temp and you will suprised to see it comes very close to this, we used to use powder coating on our race cars but the powder would become tacky when the car was pitted for fuel/tyres.

yes it lasts longer and more resistant to chipping but it dosnt stand up to heat aswell as a 2 pack style of paint
