Yes I have done it once, I don't remember the cost. It turned out fine.

Yes, I did on my last truck. I did have them use a low temp cure powder though.

Do you typically get the tires removed, or do they powder coat with tires on the rims?

They have to be removed...as do the sensors and valve stems....

Ya the oven would make things interesting if the tires and stems were not removed. The coating seems to be holding up ok so far.

Got it. I was thinking they were sprayed and left as is. Didn’t realize that powder coating implied a trip to the oven.

Yes you can even get small scale do it at home kits and cook your parts in the kitchen oven….. at least until the wife catches you.

Did you end up keeping these wheels? Do you have any closer pictures. I’m thinking about doing the same thing or just buying new wheels. Thanks

I still have them but they are sitting loose for the last 18 months with the worn out Transfarses on them. I put new wheels/ tires on the 19 and recycled them on to my 12 and ran the stock tires dead. The 12 which is the main farm truck, gets used hard with LOTS of gravel miles. They held up well.

for what it's worth we just satin black powder coasted our 24 ram dually wheels. about 1200 bucks. Looks amazing

Had my wheels on my 2017 and 2021 powder coated. Very happy with the results.

I didn't read this whole thread, so please forgive me if I'm repeating a question someone has already answered. But what's the fear/reluctance in powder coating wheels? I read all this stuff it heats it and weakens the wheel (i mean, i have never read of an accident about a powder coated wheel breaking off)?
My guy, just told me to be cautious with the cleaning method due to the satin finish in relation to scratching.
But heck......i don't understand?
I just figured, if all else fails and this is a disaster down the stretch, i'll quit being a cheapy and buy rims.....but at this point, i don't understand why?
thanks

LOL, After I baked a set of SBC valve covers coated with VHT Wrinkle Paint my wife banned me from the kitchen.
