Hi Guys,
I recently purchased (5) Gas Burner 4-lug Mahle Wheels from Mark @ mepstein and had them Powder Coated with a Silver Metalic paint. They look real nice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) BTY: Powder Coating cost $80.00 bucks per wheel. My plan is to change them out for next years TC parade in MI. My Porsche Certificate says "Alloy Wheels" so why can't I subsitute Mahle for Fuchs & be factory original????? Polished Fuchs don't look factory??

Those are the tow bar brackets.And a question - isn't powder coating considered a paint? ... just applied dry? Do judges deduct points for powder coated engine tins? ... and suspension components? |

Overkill, but a good design by the PO in CA before it came to MI. Here is the only photo I have of the tow bracket. BTW: I agree, powdercoating is paint with a different method of application.
