Notice a difference in handling or think its just a bling mod? I would think it should make a pretty big difference because your frame probably isn't as rigid as it once was... if it ever was. lol

lol Daniel, for "disliking" me as much as you say you do, you follow all of my posts awful carefully.
they're terrible sizing/offsets. just gonna refinish and flip these. they're 16x7 +32, 16x8 +38. but overall the wheels are in extremely good condition and should restore nicely and easily. This post has been edited by PurePontiacKid: Oct 13 2012, 05:22 PM |

lol, why would someone even stagger wheels that close in size.
Oh well, make them look pretty and get dat dolla My weds are already getting all chipped up just from daily driving. They may be relatively light and strong, but whatever finish they use on them sucks ass. Any tips? |

I've always heard that powder coating wheels weakens them. Not sure if that has been proven by any scientific means though.

because the process heats up the aluminum in the wheel to near its melting point... i think.

I plan on powder coating them lol
and that's just a rumor, the highest temp I've ever powder coated something at was 450*F, not even close to f**k anything up. and that was just to melt the powder, once it "flowed out" I set the temp back down to 400*F. |

If you don't heat the wheels past the 'critical temperature' for whatever the metal may be, then it won't weaken them. Once you pass the critical temperature, you're starting to heat treat the metal, which lowers the strength of the metal.
Most good professional powdercoaters should know this, but it's still a good idea to talk about it with them before having a job done. There are some lower temp powders that can be used if needed. In other words, if the right precautions aren't taken for cast aluminum wheels, yes it could weaken the wheels. |
