Yeah the whole Wheel was Coated. I don't know what pretreatment they used. But the guy said they Preheated the wheels for a few hours before Coating and he Guaranteed his work from flake'n or chip'n.. And I don't think they were Clear Coated.

But I do agree your Prices are the best I've seen... Just being from BC, a little hard to send big things to you!! Or I would be more then happy to send work to a fellow YotaTech'r..

For the stock split 3-spokes. And my point was that your price is REALLY good because around here I couldn't get anyone to come close when I was considering it (2 years ago). Now my wheels are black by other means.

This leaves a surface just as priming a car...its a surface to convert the metal over to be coated so you can gurrantee max adhesion. Thanks for the kind words..
