I have a brilliant silver 370Z, and would like to see the image below with all black rims with accents of silver. Please photoshop the rim black, then acccent the silver in.

Isnt it a bad idea to powedercoat forged wheels ? I remember reading something about how powdercoating them makes the metal weaker due to the heat that they use to bake the paint.

Nikon FM · 12-21-2009, 08:06 PM

I have 2 sets of sport wheels. I powder coated one set gloss black and the other gloss white. No pin striping due to quality issues with the powder coater's process..(he didn't like the idea due to his PC tape not being flexible enough). I put Toyo's R888s on the white set for track days and Hankooks on the black set for daily use. I put the track set on and wow I like the white wheels with the black car. As soon as I get the car back form the shop I'll post pics of the track setup.

Maybe someone who actually powdercoats can elaborate, but from what I understand the amount of heat used to bake the powdercoat onto the wheel isn't enough to effect the structural integrity of the wheel. Those who have issues likely had powdercoaters who burned the original coating off the wheel with extremely high temps instead of media blasting the coating off. The heat used to bake off the finish is what effects the wheels strength. So just make sure your powdercoater uses another method to get the old finish off.
