I have seen a lot of powdercoated wheels or rim and hubs that have spokes on them and a few harley davidsons with cast alloy wheels, but I have not yet seen an America with Powdercoat on the OEM wheels. Anybody done this here? If so, any photos?

Thanks.

Click on my pics link in the signature and look for Paschal, Mark Case and Italian Speedy. There's another one that I could find if Photopost was up. I didn't grab those pics.

I would love to do chrome or brushed finish hoops with black spokes...

Thanks FriarJohn for the photo. It looks pretty good in my opinion.

My Dad was born in Montana and I used to live in north Idaho when I was a kid. I did not know there was an East Helena. The area must have really grown since I live back there. I can only guess there have been an influx of Californians????

Have a good one!

East Helena was basically a company town for the smelter, which was shut down several years ago. Now it's more or less a bedroom community for Helena. You can see the blight that is the smelter here. I'm about a mile east-north-east of the big black pit. I heard the state got more superfund cleanup money. I hope I can get my yard replaced if there's enough lead and/or arsenic in the soil. Some of my neighbors have had that done for free.
