These are just my "winter wheels".

This was all a "testing" thing. I was going to do my RE-30's like this, but decided against it. Didn't want to potentially ruin a perfectly good set of Volks. I got these AP2's cheap enough, if I didn't like it, so what.

I have read that PC rims will make them weaker and only worse the more time you do it.

It all depends on what temp the wheels are baked at. I have had at least 5 sets of powder coated wheels, and not one has ever cracked. I've seen the threads on here about how a guy got his wheels PC'd, and he went to the track and it cracked. BLAH BLAH BLAH. Either he hit something on the track/curbing, or the powder coater had the heat too high, for too long. I daily drive my car, and always have.

You can do what you want, and believe whatever you wish. I'm a firm believer that if the job is done right, you won't have anything to worry about.
