I was wondering if the powdercoating process could have actually allowed the damage. Anyone think that heating my OEM wheels during the cooking part of the powdercoating process could have weakened the wheels? It's obvious that the wheel took a blow since it's got an impact bend, but the stress crack (see OP pic) makes the wheel appear brittle.
