Does Powder Coating Damage Rims?
 

I know Nasioc Forums have discussed this to death but has anyone considered the likely damaged caused to rims by the heat process used during powder coating...are people even aware of the risk?

Apparently the heat damages the metallurgy causing some rims to be seriously fubared. Before anyone with no knowledge on this subject goes off half cocked have a search at the following Forum:

Interesting story on an MY06 recall as well...

I heard the same thing morgan about powder coating..

You can simply paint them on and put a few more layers of clear coat protects them fine.
