I had mine powdercoated, they looked good, but it made the hubcap VERY tight to get on and nearly impossible to get off. The powdercoat is much thicker than normal paint. Good in a way, until you need to remove the wheel!! I have since been chatting to the local spray painter, who reckons the two -pac finish is VERY durable on wheels, he has done many sets over the years, no worries with them at all. Most important thing is preparation, get them blasted professionally first! Cheers matt |

Something to consider is the seal of the tyre....if you get the thing too damn glassy I have heard you may have trouble forming a good seal. |

just run some 360grit over the inside surfaces, takes the gloss off and you cant see it. |
