| FYI - when you get your rims back from the powder coater make sure to remove the powder coat from the lug nut lips on the rims. I did on my bus rims I had powder coated last summer with some 80 grit, there are stories on the samba about the coating failing, lugs loosening up and wheels falling off. |

Your wheels fall off? Man I HATE when that happens! 
So far my bolts haven't budged (had them coated 5 years ago) as I read the same thing you did hubcapt...of course, my rig just sits so it COULD happen if I ever drive it!  |
