iirc wasnt powdercoating forged rims detrimental to the structural intergrity of the wheels?

regardless, looks pretty crazy there, but need better pics

i did some research on the powdercoating. i went to a wheel manufacturer to get them done. crazy thing is that when you powdercoat a wheel they heat it up to 350 degree's. even better is that when you have the wheel painted they heat it up to 350 degree's also. really no difference. the only problem is when you heat them up much higher than that.

ill have to try to get some better pics. the lighting was hard that day.

Try to park your car in the sunny area next to where it was in the picture.... then we will be able to see how it really looks, but from what I can see it looks nice, but Im partial to the gunmetal color.
