do you guys by any chance happen to have a shop by the sf bay area?

[lawheelandtire]

@AndyAkumal We are SoCal only, located just north of Los Angeles. If you have any questions -- even if you go with another shop -- don't hesitate to ask us. We've been in the industry a long time, and are happy to point you in the right direction (we also have killer deals on shipping to and from us, so you may not want to totally discount us if that's where the problem is!)

This video has convinced me to have mine powder coated.

But first I have a couple of questions... If the rim has some gutter rash will it still show thru once the coat is finished or will the 'powder' fill up those scratches?

Also, what how much would I expect to pay for 4 17" rims to pe coated?

**I live in australia so i will have to find somewhere over here to do it, but if u guys can fill me in that would be great.

Cheers!

@blowupuate13 It can be argued both ways. The process L.A. Wheel uses has been around for 50+ years and is used by every qualified, professional powder coater (versus the fly-by night operations). There's really no definitive answer, but there are very few wheels where you'd need to worry...and they are aware of which ones you do have to worry about (remember, OEM wheels are still manufactured by many different companies and have different strengths and weaknesses).

@lawheelandtire but when you heat the rims wont it make them weaker???

@TjReal Rinsing with water… degreasers leave residue that would affect the finish

[TjReal]

I'm just wondering what you are spraying on the rim before you put it in the oven to preheat? Just plain water or some special solution / degreaser..?
