[FC] Painting or Powdercoating Wheels

[Bill Wells]

Charles,

I think powder coating is the way to go, if you can
afford it. However, have all the wheels checked on a
spin balance machine before you pay to have them
coated. I gave a friend a set of five steel FC wheels
and two of them were rejected by the tire shop when he
went to have them mounted. This was after they had
been coated.

Good Luck,
Bill
