Powdercoated rims?

[Teava]

Hey guys,

Has any one here ever powder coated there rims?

If so, did they last very long? or did they scratch real easy?

[flyingcr250]

it will probably crack when you lace the wheels up again, id get them anodized

how well do they last OFF-ROAD??

[paulmac]

we do heaps for RM-Z's. All off road !! last fine, just need to be carefull when fitting new tyres !!!

o sweet, i thought maybe with the abrasion of being stuck in rutted muddy gritty shit it might fuck it.... and i assumed from your profile you meant road bikes :)

About one hour to re spoke !

I've got about ten hours so far on my new bike which came with powder coated rims. So far so good...... Obviously the tip of the rim will never last due to tire changes and just wearing on the tire under compression, but the rest seems to be holding up ok!

Other option is a spray can, cheap and nasty but ya can afford to fix em up when needed...

wicked thanks for all the input guys, looks like i will need to sleep on it between the anodize and or powder coated.

Ok i decided that i will go for the Anodize look, any good places on the North Shore/Auckland area to get them done?

o sweet, i thought maybe with the abrasion of being stuck in rutted muddy gritty shit it might fuck it....Pretty sure my 640A's black rims ( ex-factory) are anodized. It only took getting stuck in one bog hole to scratch the bejeezus out of the rim.
