I have powder coated many wheels for my customers and not one has come back saying they are chipping or anything like that. Whoever said they aren't durable or chip, probably had them painted and not a true powder coat. You should be able to get a set of 4 done for $400~

Picked my set up today from Advanced Coatings, in Gt Falls, MT. VERY happy with the quality of the work performed. Hoping to get my oem Goodyear's mounted up this week.
I will post some pics when I do. I tried for a deep grey/gunmetal color, but these are lighter than I hoped. So tough to truly SEE a color from the few HUNDRED, small sample strips ,used to choose a color. I'm not stressing over it. Have to see how they look when mounted on the car. I think they will look fine, and not show brake dust as badly as well. NO matter what...A different look than anyone else's hyper blue Camaro in Montana. LOL. |

has anybody had a wheel failure from the heating process used to cure the powder? Ive had wheels done before but after wanting to get a set of Marchesini motorcycle wheels done, I did some research and heard of some wheels becoming soft and warping easily on motorcycles and cars...

Super Steve- don't forget Marchesini moto rims, if on a Ducati, are magnesium. That might be the reason you'd heard of warping. Just a thought.

Powder coat if done correctly is a superior finish than paint. It resist chemicals, scratches and chipping far better than paint. If done correctly as well, it does not impact the strength or structure of the wheel. 100% of our racing team customers run powder coated wheels and love the durability and easy clean up of the finish. On the other side of that, we powder coat all of our product in-house and have complete control of the process. If you take your wheels to a finisher that does not do wheels on a regular basis, then you take your chances. Stick with wheel finishers such as Wheel Medic here in Ohio or Wheels America who has locations all over the country. __________________ David Schardt Forgeline Motorsports, LLC 3522 S.

I'd LOVE to post them, but Photobucket now wants me to upgrade to a paid membership in order to do 3rd party hosting. Sorry.
Mine came out fine. They seem to be holding up just fine. Brake dust appears to be simply not sticking. I did wax them very well though. My only caveat.....I wanted a MUCH darker sort of metallic grey. It was very difficult from the 1.5 x 3 inch sample plate. The lighter grey HAS grown on me. And today at the drags I had several guys comment that htey liked the lighter grey....as it was unique. I don't mind it. I'm in the "unique" camp now. |
