Default Powder Coated AP2V1 wheel, track failure

Just a FYI, don't know all the details, but I know there are track junkies (and others with Powder Coated wheels) on here so I wanted to pass this on to make sure everyone is safe:

Good to know, thanks for posting that. Not that I'd powdercoat my race wheels anyway, they are already gunmetal from all the brake dust!

I've always wondered if PCing really weakens the wheels. I guess I finally found an answer.

I guess most ppl PC their wheels for the look anyway. I don't see any point in PCing wheels for tracking as the wheels will look hardcore anyway with massive brake dusts =).
