Powder Coating Wheels ??
Went to drop my car off at the wheelspecialist this morning for a wheel refurb (full strip and powder coat), chap didn't want to do them as he thought they were magnesium, he showed me a set of mag race wheels that were knackered from the powder coating process (very porous). I tried to assure him it was a myth but doubt then crept into my mind...so I said I would investigate and get back to him. Anyone had their wheels powder coated ?? Any issues with the finish ? |

These aren't magnesium. Most dealers are under the impression they are but infact are made from lightweight Alloy.
If these were magnesium they would be around 5kg each. |

Hi Simon,
They're gloss black. The photo was taken as the sun was setting so they don't look quite as they would usually. Rob
