Coating new wheels
Hello
I'm getting some new forged wheels for my Corvette. They will be gloss powder coated. I think I want to put some kind of coating on them to keep them pretty. I want to do this before the tires are put on so that it will be easier to do. What suggestions do you have? Ceramic like Gtechnique C5 or Diamond Wheels or what else?? Also, will the wheel weights stick okay to the coating ?
Thanks in advance for your opinions and advice!

Kamikaze is excellent product and Esoteric is a fantastic knowledgeable top shelf business. I recently tried some of Brian’s products and am very impressed. He has a new “track worthy “ wheel coating that looks interesting ( Apex Detail )

I also agree that you should coat them after the tires are mounted. That way you can clean off the lubricant used to mount the tires.
