There are some minor gotchas I am going to talk to Guy about tomorrow, and Cody, I would suggest you call him about your wheels as well just to be sure.

Basically, we missed one spot to not powdercoat, the hubcentric portion, and there was a small amount of "overcoat" on the mating surface. This was not classic overspray. The area was clearly masked, but the powder built up a slight ridge that extended past what would be flush with the mating surface. If you mounted them on teh cqar without cleaning this up, they would not rest squarly on the mating surface, and would likey cause wobble. Using a utility knife like a scraper, I was able to easily take these down.

In short, before you take them in, look at your wheels, and see where they are not painted, and have them not paint the same areas. If you have center caps, this likely includes the entire center bore, hubcentric section, mating surface, and lug seats.

The attached pics point to areas not to PC, or where I had to clean up the "overcoat"...
