    I have same cash to splash on my 954 and thinking about doing something with the wheels. I'm hoping some of you would share your opinions on powder coating, read up and seen many pros and cons. Or do I splash out on new wheels which begs another question where from? Looked all over and can't find any under £1500.

    Powder coat is stronger, not heard a downside to it myself

    Heard that there is a risk that unless the process is carried our correctly the structure of the wheel can be compromised and under stress may crack.
