Powder coat ain't all its cracked up to be - for exactly this reason. I've found RustOleum is far better in most circumstances.Not fond of powder coat if there is humidity and corrosives like salt in the environment. Living in Kona, powder coat would bubble wherever the surface was nicked and then corrosion would creep under the powder coat and it would peel off in sheets. Probably works fine in the south but wouldn't trust it if you drive in the winter in the Rust Belt. Painted my Rover wheels with Rust Oleum after careful prep to clean out all the rust in the cracks and feather any nicks. Owned some of the Rovers for decades and never had to repaint the wheels though the Rust Oleum did get a bit chalky as it aged.
Mounted it up just for a preview, I plan on ordering new tires in a week or so.

I'm still new on here , but was wondering if you ever posted a picture of the finished rim/tire project. I love the white steel rim look.
I like them too. I never really saw the point of "Mag" wheels outside a race car environment. I only have one requirement for wheels: They need to be round. I would like to see hubcaps on them as well (they could be removed before wheeling).
Yeah, but white wagons are pretty classic, too...
I don't see an EV plug and charging station anywhere? Will we ever survive?That's the way it should be!

No.
I feel like there's some science here, so bear with me...
If we accept that our nervous system operates on electrical impulses, it would then be a safe assumption that dinosaurs would have functioned similarly. Seeing as gasoline/petroleum is made from crude oil, and crude is essentially made from very dead, very old, very squished and very liquefied dinosaurs....would it then not be safe to say that our Jeeps are electric by association? Can we not accept that gasoline is essentially dinosaur synapses transmogrified?
I feel greener. You?
