Just make sure it's a low temp powder coat.

Just had my 2011 Turbo S wheels redone in Vancouver, they painted them and they look fantastic!

Powder coat... make sure they don’t paint or powder coat on the inner race of the wheel or they will stick on!

Use Sonax only as a wheel cleaner once you get it done.
