how advisable would it be to

(1/2) > >>

lambert:
would it be sensible or wise to galvanise a set of steel wheels? or is powder coating a better option?

cheers.

waveydavey:
Personally I can see no reason against it; you could even do both

Eeyore:
Galving is good, but personally I wouldn't powder coat. It gets chipped and scratched and start bubbling and can cause all kinds of havoc around the bead. Painting is a better option if you don't like 'zinc silver'.

carbore:
Wouldn't galvanizing be a bit of a rough texture (ish) so that the tyre would not seal very well around the rim?

(just an idea)

Im sure it this was a good idea then it would be done on things like trailers and agricultural vehicles and I dont think they do???

paul_humphreys:
Ask the galvanizing place as depending on how long they are dipped for it might warp the wheels. You might be better elecro plateing them.
