Re: Powdercoating - As long as the wheel is stripped down to bare metal and the powdercoat resin is allowed to cure properly, the finish will be very durable.
The only limitation is that on a one piece wheel the whole wheel must be coated. You can't "mask off" the outer lip and leave a section to be polished.

You can use have nearly any color and gloss level nowadays...just bear in mind that changing the finish color will require starting over from scratch.
i'm not too wheel spec savvy...
if it's shallower, does that mean the wheel wont fit?

Also.. why is it they can't make a silver lip if they powder coat??
They can't mask it off.... and they can't buff the black out afterwards?
Guess I need to read up more, one of those "awkward to find info on" topics though.... the powdercoating at least.

Thanks as always.
