From what i have read and heard is that you should not powdercoat forged wheels becuase the heat weakens the wheel such as the TE or CE

 

I have heard that is a false rumor though. Hopefully a shop/store can shed some light on that.

 

I personally wouldn't bother powdercoating them because they don't even come powdercoated from the manufacturer. They are painted.

 

Pretty sure the oven temps are only around 350-400 degrees when baking the powder on the wheels. I dont think those kinds of temps effect the structural integrity of the wheels.. .02

 

yeah I thought the temps needed to rearrange the molecules was like 4000 degrees or something....

edit: FWIW a quick google search gave me 1335 degrees fahrenheit as the critical temperature of steel. Who knows how reliable that number is though.

 

Sorry not Volks but GramLights from Rays Engineering powdercoated in flat black
