How much plastidip paint would that take?

Anyone running into any painted wheel being unbalanced after application?
Not happened to me.

I saw a picture of some wheels that had hollow spokes instead of solid spokes.
I would not have knowingly used those wheels whether powder coated or not.

Lookalike wheels might be light, but there is a balance between weight and strength.
I don't know of any method of making hollow spoke wheels that will be strong enough
to subject them to side pressures, or even to subject them to pressures of acceleration.

I relate that to real roll bars versus "show bars" made of chromed exhaust tubing.
