Default Powder coated wheel tire change

Hey guys,

I'm thinking about powder coating my stock 18 wheel but I have some questions before I proceed.

Once I get my wheels powder coated, would the process of changing tires peel/chip the powder coat? Can powder coat withstand tire change?

Thanks.

Depends on the installer. If you want to prevent chipping, tape the outer lip that should provide some protection.

I had my 18s powder coated satin black and tires installed at discount tire. They were careful and I had no scratches or chips. Powder coat is pretty durable.
