Default Fxdls rims powdercoated?
just wondering if anyone out there knows if the factory wheels on the 17 fxdls are powdercoated from the factory? I'm having mine powdercoated and the guy who's doing it needs to know whether or not he has to sandblast them first. If anyone knows it would be greatly appreciated. Especially since the dealership said "I dunno". Gotta love it.

Don't know..., but whether they are or not - have him take en down to bare metal - PC will stick better / last longer / be more durable

Wheels live a rough life with all they're exposed to
