another powdercoating ?

Im looking to have my rims powdercoated and was wondering if the spokes have to be removed. They are not being coated, just the rim. Also, anyone recommend someone..thanks!

Yes, youneed to take the spokes out if you want to leave them uncoated.

I recommend Advanced Platings in Nashville.

yes definitely need to be removed....taking the wheel apart is pretty easy.. you can do it [once the tire is removed] then have someone re-lace and re- true...
