I have a cgm and I am considering having my wheels powder coated to look like these on novocaine's car (the color is called "silver vein):

I did a gloss black and the powder coat does an excellent job of hiding break dust and other grime. I sand blasted mine myself and had them coated for around $50 a piece and they turned out great. My only regret is that I should have blasted them with a milder abbrasive. I used regular sand at 60 psi and my blast profile ended up a little deep in one of the grooves between the up rights. It still looks great but I know it is there.

How does the heat cycle for the powder coat affect the wheel? I was reading about this and read that the baking process used to cure the "paint" (powder) may adversly affect the temper in the wheel making it weaker.
