Have you guys had issues in the past with different coating, where the weights will not stick? Personally I would coat the wheel then have the tires installed then balanced, this way if a tire had to be rebalanced, there wouldn't be a bare spot where the coating did not cover.
Blasphemy on the Corolla reference! (though I’m pretty sure Mrs. Gates drives a Camry) I’m curious to know how much this restoration process would cost.
...depends on the amount of prep needed to get the wheel ready. I'd guess $60-$100/per wheel plus the ceramic coating. Not sure if the high gloss coat costs more...
Low temperature powder ~200 degrees Fahrenheit is ok, however most powder coating shops use the higher temperature process. The 6000 series aluminum does not like additional temperature cycles and it changes mechanical properties of the material and can lead to future issues. This is a fact and not a myth.
6:54 wheel weights need to go on the outside lip....otherwise the front brembo calipers will catch them if their mounted on the inside...not speaking from experience of course.... as for tires, there isnt too many tires that will beat the stock bridgestone pontenza RE01 for oem tires... I guarantee the ones you put on wont beat the stock potenzas .
Back in the Nasioc days people would say to not powder coat these forged BBS as they couldn’t handle being baked again at the higher heat. No idea what truth there is to this but would love to hear your powder coat guys opinion!
The great majority of cracked BBS wheels that I have seen have all been powder coated. Some were coated more than 1 time. Some become brittle and after several times the heat cycles can make them soft.
...sounds like a lazy previous owner... I have DWS06 on my '19, and I HATE them...from day 1 (2200 miles on the odo) and I've had a persistent, speed related vibration that wasn't there w/the OE Dulops. Even w/2 new "complimentary" tires, the vibration is still there. Plus they are noisey. Wheels look good.
Dude yes! OEM+ is way underrated. These JDM cars have great offerings in Japan to give it that extra manufacture spark.
Best center cap on TH-cam!
For a sec I thought BBS was slang for something inappropriate.
wheels turned out GREAT!!!
Is Dane going to buy the car once it’s done? He looks a little too happy driving it
He's waiting for the next car in the series. He needs something a little bit more....quirky...
2:57 As a former 2009 Corolla XRS sedan owner, I enthusiastically endorse this edit. :)
That shot at 6:53 is lit fam fire!
OEM BBS goodness!!! So glad you guys got them restored. They look so good! 🔥 When’s this thing going up for sale?? 👀
Great video guys! Love the behind the scenes on the powder coating process
@@theragcompany yeah those behind the scenes are really interesting, keep them coming whenever something like that happens!
No throwback Dane pic but wow y’all really took it to another level in this one great ep dudes 🔥🔥🔥
Should the toothbrush polisher be used twice a day for pearly whites?
This is a dope project you guys took on!
Ahhhhhh yeah! I have the same wheels on my STi swapped bug eye!
We need a counter for every time he says Panel Wipe 😂😂😂
Sucks that they coated the back pads of the wheels and the Center bore, that should have all been masked off.

Absolutely fantastic video, wow! I know you meant Camry. My goodness, what a series .

Imagine replacing stock nice, good-looking BBS wheels for some cheap Rota 🤦🏻
BBS for the win!!!
Turned out great! Have heard its best to paint/clear a forged wheel vs powder coat. Not sure why. Maybe possible cracking during the baking stage?

Is good job, I work for 9 years with different company paint.
I heard Anthony’s wife drives a RAV4
I just bought new wheels. So you're suggesting I should have tires mounted and balanced first before coating them?

Awesome work

Who would swap these out for Rotas lmao.

No need for tape during powder coating?
Please more STI videos!!
