I've track several sets of powerdercoated wheels, factory and aftermarket. Not ONE problem. I hear this a lot, but no evidence to show that someone has actually damaged a wheel because of powdercoating.

Thanks guys for the feedback. I am thinking about powdercoating my BBS motorsports. What do you think about the look of satin black BBS on a silver GT3? Any photoshop expert can help me with a preview?

I think it would look extremely nice. Then again, I may be biased.

yes it is indeed Alvin's old ride. Any suggestion on powdercoating the wheels? Or should I get an OEM wheels and paint them instead? BTW, I had received lots of compliments on the installation job for the Europipe. Awesome job!!
