I'm no metalurgist but from what I've read, it depends on the temperature the wheels are baked at and how long.
So it can be done (hell how do you think wheel manufacturers paint their rims? ) - just make sure the company doing it, knows what they're doing

I had a set of powder coated TE37's in champ white on my old Midori hatch. Car was even tracked once at Lime Rock, never had an issue so I think I'm going to go for it

hello guys,

i have a 07 S2k and i would like to fit it with some 17" Volk te37 in bronze.
i have stock fenders and my desired wheels sizes are 225/235 in front and 265 in the rear.
i would also like them us much as possible concave...

what width and what offset will i need for these tyres?
will i have problems with the fenders?

does anyone have pics with a moonrock s2k with bronze te37?

thanks a lot!
