    I can't believe how expensive these damn things are... $100 for two little plastic pieces??

    You find a good deal somewhere?

    Those are nice looking wheels.
    Did the coater strip them before coating them? I heard a few members had problems because the coat of clear was not stripped from the wheels before powder was applied.

    I don't think the powdercoater knew what he was doing with our wheels, probably not all wheels are clear coated. They were only hot bathed and then coated. The coating stuck but was not a uniform coating in color.

    Hmmm, I don't know much about painting but... I'd expect a painter to look at a wheel they're re-painting... and I'd expect them to look for clear coat if it made a difference. I can't imagine a painter couldn't just glance at something and instantly say "that's got clear on it". I could be wrong.
