Powder Coated Wheels

i think the bike looks like hell but the wheels could look good on a clean bike. go for it!
oh ya and powder coat them

I'd go for paint, I'm 50/50 on paint or powder for frames having done both but for wheels always paint imo.

The nicest thing about the 7 spoke mag wheels is when the rims and spoke flats are polished. There is no way to mask the rims for powder coat like you would when spraying.

Paint or powder the prep is the same, save for bearing removal and replacement. Alloy needs a correct primer but is easy painting even for a novice with rattle cans as no labourious wet flatting primer coats required, as the wheels inners are rough cast.

I powder coated my 81 gpz550 frame white, it needs to be kept super clean and it will make any scruffy parts of he bike stand out even more...years later it is looking scruffy, I will paint it soon in frost white metallic with 2k clear. I wouldn't choose white again, but on that one I want to preserve that vision I had in my mind's eye when I built it 20 years ago,

i talked to my cousin today and he said he's powder coated a few motorcycle wheels with success and happy customers. he mentioned using high temp tapes for masking and after a quick google search this turned up, so i'm not sure what you mean by "no way to mask the rims"? i'm really trying to think this through and weigh everything out as i don't want to do it twice or at worst purchase new wheels. thanks for the input

@tyrell hmm i actually kinda like it. and i'm not sure mine looks much better but i am in love with it. heavily leaning towards powder coat after talking with my cousin today but i want to be 100%. thanks
