I used to powdercoat for a living and can assure you not to worry about wheels cracking if you take it to a shop that knows what theyre doing. Wheels would only crack if they were extremely overbaked and I mean exceeding the 10 minute cure time by a lot, as well as overheating the part. It rarely happens. With that being said, I dont recommend spending 300-400$ for a 1/2 stage coat on stock wheels.. If you plan on keeping them in the long run then by all means, but I would just save the $$ and paint them if you have plans on changing them in the future.
Powdercoat can easily last 5+ years.
Mike and Brendan like this.
