The wheels look cool, but I have a little concern....and my concern is "self inflicted". A former girl friend had the wheels of her 442 powder coated and the did the whole wheel...including where the wheels backed up to the disc rotor and the brake drums. I don;t know if she rode her brakes a lot, but when I went to take the wheels off to rotate them, I couldn't get the SOB's off. With the help of a pry bar the "self inflicted" came into play....I finally got the wheels to break loose, but on the last one I slipped and gashed myself pretty good. Apperantly, the heat fromt he brakes softened the powder coating enough to help them bond to the hubs. I took a grinder to the center of the wheels (and then a light coat of antseize), and didn't have any other problems removing the wheels. Might have been just her situation, not applied properly, not baked properly, or something like that, but since then I'm a little gun shy with powder coated wheels.
