Any risk of weakening the cast wheels by powder coating them? Seems like it would weaken a forged wheel via annealing, but not a cast wheel.

My standard answerer is don't do it. I am familiar with one team that destroyed 20 sets of wheels powder coating them. Our wheels are sprayed and cleared at the factory, not powder coated. Most powder coating is cured between 300-400F, but there are some that go as high as 600F which will anneal the wheel. Be ready for it to start ballooning when you try to bead them!
