So, I have decided on where to powder coat my 19" OEM Slipstreams and I am going with.. Quy's Coating
I had a long chat with Quy and he convinced me he is the right guy for the job. My only concern is that he does not removed the tires from the rims, he told me to have my mechanic do it.
So, I had a question about remvoing the tires from the rims. I have a set of winter rims (Replika 187's) and X-Ice tires. I do this intentionally because I do not like the idea of removing and replacing tires on the rims with the change of every season, so I do two complete sets to ensure I don't have to unnecessarily take the tires off the rims unless I am getting new tires.
On my Slipstreams are the OEM Goodyear tires (with the sound insulation foam). Do you think I need to be too concerned about removing the tires and putting them back on (this one time) for powder coating? The powder coating is costing me $700, which is fine, but I don't want to get into having to replace my tires because they can't get them to seal on the wheels.
Also, do you think I will run into any issues with the TPMS on the Slipstream/Goodyear set with removal and reinstallation?
