Also, keep in my mind that wheels are all made differently. The wheels on the BRZ/FR-S are not aluminum forged, which require a lower baking temp then others. From what I have seen on the internet, aluminum forged should NOT be powder coated, but there have been people who have had them powder coated successfully. I, unfortunately, was not one of them.

I would love to powder coat my stock rims on the BRZ, but after that whole experience, I would much rather just leave it alone and enjoy the car
