Be careful when powder coating wheels. It can compromise their strength.

Technically it can, but if done properly (and usually only with aluminum) it'll only lose 5% of it's strength. Since most wheels are designed to be 1.5x stronger than what they need to be, you shouldn't have to worry.

if joe is right about 5% than it really shouldnt be an issue... im going to look into it myself but i have never heard of it being an issue.
