anybody have any experience with powdercoating/painting alloy wheels? I've tried to bring myself to part with money for likely-looking riceie wheels, but I keep coming back to the idea of some boxster 17 x 7s colored black. Can they be powder coated? Paint them? Can someone point me to a source for annodizing?

I asked a few years back about powder coating 4 lug Fuchs. The answers were all over the map. I got a couple of answers that said the heat used to cure the poweder would make the alloy brittle. That may not be true, but I decided better safe than sorry and didn't do it.
While that may be true of the true curing process (440 degree in an oven), If you use a IR heat lamp or propane heater, it may not cause any damage. I dunno. Still, to this day, I dunno. |
