Now I'm thinking about powdercoating the entire wheel a black satin including the outer lip like "Jeffy" did with his ERA FIA wheels. I love that look.
Would you paint your KMP? I would do that to aluminum wheels Rod-not mag. Sorta defeats the idea. And coatings add weight that you're spending a fortune on to shed.

I'll never say never on the paint, but you're right, it does defeat the purpose of buying a magnesium wheel.
I forgot my plan. Which was, once the Trigo's come off, then I may do that to the Trigo's if and when I get bored.
Besides all the other nonsense, at some point, when these wheels do get installed, it will necessitate the purchase of some new Avon's.
The wheels do corrode. Isn't that the look you guys are after anyways? If you want shiny wheels, you are much better off with aluminum with polished lips.

Rodknock - Just how old is your KMP and how many miles do you have? Why do you have such a rep?
Oh what do they know anyway. You think Chas and Patrick have seen my odometer? I could have 20,000 miles on my car since it became operational in the 4th Quarter of 2008.
I drive it everyday to work, I rebuild my own engines and transmissions and I did and do all the work myself. I also drag race my Kirkham every Wednesday night at Infineon Raceway.

...only if the clowns from Overhaulin' kidnapped it while you were at the Oyster Bar...
I think you have paper cut-outs of hands and feet to remind you where they go to operate it...

Well, the kidnappers would have to figure out where the fuel pressure and battery cutoff switches are first.
It took me a couple months to figure out that the fuel pressue switch is right underneath the fuel pressure gauge and that the battery switch is actually BEHIND me.
You know.....I always abide by the first rule of Italian driving:
Cobra Make, Engine: ERA #732, 428FE (447 CID), TKO600, Solid Flat Tappet Cam, Tons of Aluminum

I would venture to guess that RodKnock hasn't driven his car any more than I've driven my car since I popped her in to her sleeping bag in November. This winter seems like it's gone on forever, but I do see signs that spring is not that far away. What we really need now is some heavy steady rains to wash away all the white salt that's covering everything.
