#1. If you want to make a statement along those lines, please know what you are talking about.

#2. If you are going to make an arguable statement, please don't spell like a retarded third grader, that is not going to help your credibility.

#3. Stop being a dumbass and shut the **** up.

The wheels that are made weaker during the powdercoating process are cheap wheels. The are made weaker because of two reasons, the first being that they are made with material not made to withstand the heat of the oven that it used in the process. The second is that the powdercoat is slightly acidic till it cures, which again, is only a worry if you have low quality wheels. These wheels are forged and made by Rays, so they are high-quality and there is no need to worry.

Learn before you speak.

Those aren't the Rays. They are just standard no name wheels.

EDIT: I will check on the 350Z forums just in case, but as far as I know, this has been a problem with the standard wheels and not Forged Rays.

I could have sworn they were rays? Or was that the ones on the track model?

Nope they are just standard. They are the Touring V2, which isn't Rays. They look VERY similar, but if you check out the link I posted, you can see the differences. Easy mistake bro

See if you can find out what temperature they do it at, if its at 400 it should be ok but if its much higher than that I wouldn't risk it.
