joebobclark, thanks for the info. We've seen both points of view, its time to make the judgement for yourself.

As far as powdercoating wheels? I've seen it done alot, many OEM's use clear powder as was mentioned.

As far as ProCoat? My uncle had most of his street rod powdercoated, and ProCoat did it. He is ultra picky and if he's happy with their work, they probably do good work.
