the only downfall of powdercoating that i know if is cracking. the rim is being stressed from the vehicles weight which may cause it to crack. and weather is another important issue.


powdercoating should be about a bill job for all 4 rims. if i remember, buddy of mine in san jose (diswickedcivic) gets his powdercoating done for $20 each rim?
