How hot do they heat the wheels during powder coating? I was thinking of
this, but rejected the idea on the grounds that the heat would be bad
for spokes, etc. If it is low and controlled, it may not be bad. (I was
going to use POR 15 silver to be safe).

Ron, I don't recall off the top of my head but the process was
recommended to me by the people at University Motors, an MG specialist
in my area. I guess I will have them to blame if my spokes snap like
icicles when I hit my first bump this spring.
Now you have me curious about the temp. I'll give them a call tomorrow,
but I seem to remember it sounding like baking a cake. 350 for 30 to 40
minutes.
