K_Franklin_A Posted December 1, 2012 Report Posted December 1, 2012 I have been thinking about powder coating rims, they are 20's. I am just wondering if anyone has done this or has experience with powder coating wheels. I have done previous research and come up with a lot of stuff, some people say that if you go with gloss it scratches quite easily. Any advice is aprecciated thank you.

Captain Stupid Posted December 29, 2012 Report Posted December 29, 2012 Lots of people powdercoat their wheels. That's probably the single most common thing done at a powder coating shop. I did all six wheels for my race car. Here's some pics of before and after... Before... After....
