I don't want to rain on anyone's parade here but I think the hype of powder coating wheels is far beyond what is should be.....
1) Powder Coating is very easy to apply uneven and may need to be done twice.
2) The amount of heat involved in BAKING your wheels to the temp needed to melt the powder is far beyond what is structurely sound
3) Powder Coating tends to chip instead of scratching resulting in complete clumps missing if you accidently mis-handle it.
4) If the powder coater doesn't completely stip, prepare the surface andtemperature warm the surface correctly you'll have trouble in time to come.
Now, not that I deal with wheels all day long or nothing
but I felt I should share this with you guys.....

these are all problems that can be avoided by having someone who does a really good job do the wheels.

Even the best still have to use the high heat and that is the biggest safety problem.
