I did a set of 15" Rally wheels in the oven I use for everything else, they just fit. Most of the recent stoves, 10 years or so, have big enough ovens to do wheels.

Did you use high-temp powder? Also where did you get your powders from?

I had mine powder coated but after the first drive the powder coat started melting or cracking. Looks like I'll have to take my intake apart and sandblast it again...
