Want nice wheels? Sell your stock wheels and buy some decent ones with a decent offset. They will look way better that powder coated stock rims
Any Suggestions?

not heard that, but definitely heard it makes them weaker. I dunno how much truth there is to it.
PVR's VMR wheels nice and cheap with a nice offset.

I hope this isn't true I'm getting mine done in a week or two. Any experiences or info about this?
all my vehicles had powdercoated rims.... the only time they were scratched was from me curbing it... not from anything else
Hmmm need to do some more research on this
The powder should hold up well, but there is a possibility the heat required to set the powder may create problems.
From what I'm reading is that the strength can be maintained at low enough temps. But temps over 350-375 degrees and the constant heating an cooling cycle it could compromise the strength of the alloy. Something called the annealing process will start and the wheels will not be the same. I'm still reading into it.
yea if your powder coater is good.. no worries
