wheel tq
anyone know the correct wheel tq metric for mounting. also, for those that have refinished our stock wheels (i.e. painted vs powercoat), any idea about weight gains? thanks all.

debatable. some have mentioned the powdercoat process of heating the alloy may, in fact, weaken it. both seem good, but i would probably paint my stockers and polish the outer lip.

I have heard from some that they "felt" the weight after powdercoating, but I just can't imagine it, especially if you get a nice sand blast before. the heat sure as heck shouldn't hurt the alloy, since they don't bake that hot. But, that would be the worst case I guess.
