Powedercoating on Forged Wheels

Recommended Posts

i recently purchased a set of gold rpf1s and after taking them off and mounting my stock lgt wheels that are powerdcoated black i realized i didnt care for the gold on my car.. i mentioned i wanted to powdercoat my rpfs and was told it wouldnt be a good idea cause they are forged and the heat may hurt then strength of the wheels..

 

is this true any one have any experience?

 

any help would be apreciated.. ill paint them if i have to but would much rather powdercoat them...

 

thanks in advance

I am in no way an expert but based on the information I read the heating process causes the forged metal to fatigue at an accelerated rate. My question if that info were true would be how much faster will it fatigue and is this more of a worry for race or high performance conditions where more stress is put into the wheels?
