I'm planning to powdercoat a set of aluminum OEM takeoff wheels that I plan to use as a winter set. I've read that this is either totally fine, or a terrible idea because it will supposedly severely weaken the aluminum. The place I'm working with charges double for aluminum (about $75/wheel here in the US) and they are a wheel/tire shop, so I assume they do it "properly", if there is a proper way, and whatever that means.
Has anyone done this and had bad results? Bent or cracked rims?
