Ok, I found a wicked-awesome deal on these and couldn't pass it up even though they're not matte bronze like I initially wanted. I can't say I'm looking forward to applying the Coating, though
I'm about ready to pull the trigger on a set of wheels for my 4Runner, and will be applying Wheel Coating to help keep them easy to clean. I want to coat them before my tires are mounted and balanced for 2 reasons.
It will be much easier to work with a 20lb wheel than a 71lb wheel/tire combo
They'll never be as clean as they are fresh out of the box (no road grime, brake dust, or tire-mounting lube) - they're matte bronze so they can't be polished
Of course, this leads to the question of how long I would need to wait before having the tires mounted. I assume the 24hr cure time would be sufficient? Also, I have a concern about the weights adhering properly to the coated/boosted wheel. I know at least one person here has had an issue, but others haven't and I've read posts from other forums where people put weights on coated wheels with no problems. I'm thinking its probably not a big deal, plus since the wheel is matte it won't be anywhere near as slick as a gloss coated/boosted wheel would be.
