I have been reading different opionions on this topic and decided to start from scratch. since there are sooooo many opinions!!!. I am still up in the air about what i will do with my wheels, process wise. I am certain I want a dark DARK silver color. At first i said "powdercoat, powdercoat". but after a few reads I kinda second guessed my choice. somthing about the baking process being stressful. any way i need some REAL advice please.
Thanks

here is the look i am going for
exept I have 06' wheels. obviously

Since I'm new to the S2000 I am not sure if the wheels are hub centric. If they are you will want to make sure that whoever does it does not coat the mating surface. I wouldn't want the hub mating surface coated either.

I've had wheels powder coated in the past and ran into issues with the hub centric issue, a pain to take off and re-install due to a very tight fitment. When I purchased powder coated wheels from Forgeline all the mating surfaces fit perfectly.

The baking issue is 'age hardening'. Almost any aluminum alloy will age harden even at ambient temperature. There are several manufacturers that powder coat their product. If you use a reputable company I can't see that you would have an issue.

i wont doubt how many discussion there has been on this topic but i'm making a new one.
all that is sayin is that its a matter of opinion. i'm seriously concerned about a stupid powder coating processes damaging the performance of my wheels.

thanks alan
i guesse i should find a reputable place if i decide to powder coat.
