How is this done? I want to take the spokes out of the Racing Hart j8 and powdercoat them (I'm thinking about it, I'll wait until I receive them before I decide). thanks,

 

I think the racing hart wheel is only a 2 piece, so it has a separate face and hoop. Not sure if you could easily take them apart. A 3 piece wheel you should be able to unbolt the face piece from the 2 piece hoop.

 

two piece wheels are typically welded together...technically making it a one piece wheel.

 

^ sux. thanks though

 

didnt you order the gunmetal version? what color do you want to powdercoat it?

 

you can have the wheels powdercoated without taking them apart.

 

^ werd... but it would make it easier.

 

Yep, did order the gunmetal...but they are darker then your typical gunmetal..just wondering in case I do want to powdercoat them (PM to "Dave the powdercoater" already sent. But it's so hard to decide based on just web pics..I'll get them on wed and will be able to judge it in person. Bimmer (another member with SS and the GM J8's got his today, he seems to like em...but was also worried they would be too dark before he got them).

 

u take it off carefully.
i don't know. never done it. would like to know myself.

 

Yeah J8's are weld on so it will be very nasty to pull them apart. gl with it.

 

Yeah my 2-piece iForged wheels are welded together.

 

Those are nice wheels , I've seen these powder coated on a blue g35 in the north chicago area.

 

^ powdercoated what color?

 

Caribbean Blue, same color as the car.
