cause they have monkey's powdercoatiing their wheels...remember Dave's wheels on the "forgestar" thread...I think they are having issues with the place that is finishing their wheels and they are actually catching it in QA now.

depends on the temperature, but heat treating, while you get all of the strength properties back, does absolutely nothing for fatigue properties. so you'll have this really strong but brittle metal on your hands. i'd be worried if i heard my wheels got nuked in the oven three times...

then again, what temps are we talking about? it's too early for me to be thinking straight.

btw, walked outside to my car and put up a ruler marked with how much further out the AME's would be and put it against the tire. Stock ride height, they'd be past the fender about 3/8" to 1/2"
