I've seen many rims fail (especially thin spoked rims) because the powder coating process has been done too hot. What eventually happens is that the spokes break and the our part of the wheel breaks away from the centre part. Messy and dangerous if it happens at speed!!

Waiting on a pm back from mags Jura I know you've changed yours a few times and have no issues with powder coating that's why I thought I'd give it a go. As for colour I really fancy the gold xxr for the winter

Hmmm didt think of Ryan assume power coating will last longer the just paint though? Esp through the winter months?
Manchester area the best are prestige wheels mate there expensive but woth every penny.. Sending my xxr wheels off soon to be done just carnt decide what colour to go for
I have a set of track wheels which are powder coated and they get some abuse and are still good after two years, I think powder coating must just be the luck of the draw?

Think it's a job for professionals Steve who know what they're doing. Suppose any wheel wether powder coated or not could fail
