CM powder coating forged aluminum wheels
I want to powder coat the wheels on my 2009 ZR1 black. What you you think about powder coating? I've heard there are some concerns about the curing temperatures involved damaging the wheels. Any thoughts?

I powder coated the inside rims of a new set of wheeels for my C6 that were polished alum. I wanted the inside rim to be really smoothe so brake dust would not stick as bad. Seems to be working so far. No ill efects that I can see. Good Luck!
