I just asked that same question of a shop where I intend to have mine powdercoated. Of course, they told me there would be no problem since the wheels would be subjected to heat no more than 350 deg F. I'd be interested if we get any different info here.

Would it hide a crack post-powdercoating? I can see where a dishonest person might powdercoat a cracked wheel to sell, but I'd think any crack after having it done would show. Or is it elastic enough that it wouldn't?

I am thinking about getting the Turbo stock wheels power coated black. Does any one have a rought idea what that would run? Of course I will wait untill its time for new tires so that wouldnt be much of a add on.

I was considering doing the same to a set of CCWs. I was quoted anywhere from $250 (from a local friend with contacts) to $400 from a shop. I had two other estimates at $350 and $380. This was for complete coverage, no masking off. Masking off = time = more $.

They can powder coat plastic so temperature shouldn't be a problem as long as they're aware of it.
Powder coating should be OK on a street-based wheel, but wouldn't you want to to see a crack develop before it develops into something dangerous? The coating is thick enough to obscure beginning cracks. Or you can feel lucky.
