Check out eBay too, there was a set of black ta wheels on there and the bids weren't that high before you waste money painting chrome for it to peel later. Also you would be surprised what you can get a set of TSW or HP wheels for 140.00 a wheel on up.

That's why any time I coat prostars I keep the powder off those areas, those lugs and caps barely fit as it is without 1-2mm of powder in there. Hopefully your coater also did not coat the backside hub where the wheel sits against your car's hubs. That is NOT safe, especially on a drag wheel. Powder is very flexible, and will push back against the torque from the lugs unlike paint which just cracks and gets out of the way under that kind of stress, and can cause lugs to loosen up. Prostars have that problem on their own thanks to the aluminum bending in when you torque them, they don't need any help. If he didn't mask that area, I highly recommend you take those wheels off and sand that powder off the hub area.


I coat chrome almost every day, I do alot of Harley parts for example. It just needs to be heat tested first to be sure its in good shape and will hold up, then blasted lightly to give the surface a good profile for maximum adhesion of the powder(same as anything I coat).

PM me if you'd like any help with your project, be glad to coat them.
