ah about heat treating.

aluminium goes though a phase change only at about 500+degrees, so you'll be alright...

by phase change i mean change in crystal structure. i could be wrong though, need to flip through some notes.

forget what i just said. the aging is done at between 100-200 degrees, so yup. powder coating is bad yo.. unless, it only heats the surface and the wheel does not really reach 200degrees on the inside, you only bake the surface anyway, right?

[emts]

see this is strange I'm sure the inside of my rims will hit 200ish on the track, considering my brakes will get to 600-700ish having that much heat that close would have to heat cycle them???

[Borci88]

^^^^ Surely not with all the air-flow around the rim itself? I could understand if the brakes were in direct contact with the rim though...

[emts]

yeah but after you come to a stop, so I do a cool down lap but still you can light a match off the rotor after you aprk it, 20-30 min later has to have warmed up a rim quite a bit???

I'm prob wrong, should bring a thermal probe to one and have a play

Yeh 200 is a little high, 100 maybe.

The tyre sits around 70-80.

All I know is the valve caps get too hot to touch and gloves are required.

I wouldn't be game to risk it

Where to buy spacers from guys?

Instead of being:

20x10 +42

20x8.5 +35

I got:

20x10 +38 (don't really care about that - more baws)

20x8.5 +42 (7mm more in on the front than I was meant to be getting..)

So now thinking a 5mm 8-10mm spacer? where to buy? ebay have a fair few is matching the center bore of the hub important?

[alr33x]

[UNR33L]

lol not sure if trolling jonoe?

Alex, cant they're already here.. got them 2nd hand and cbf chasing shit up - just the fron'ts I have a problem with they wont be flush at all so thinking of spacer.. if i really like rims maybe buy 2x propper sized ones and rip skids on the others or something lol..

lol

Hahahahahah not bad

[UNR33L]

eh got them at a decent price + cbf sending shiz back I think it was a honest mistake by him so might try some small spacers to push it out

ford have factory spacers anyway as dust guards on the rear lol

[UNR33L]

A few with the new rims on:

Rear fitment is perfect can barely get finger in front still needs a little work.
