Would i be steeling the thread if I ask a question? I plan on using the original 7.00x18 rims for the 1-ton dually. There is a spring steel ring used to keep the rim together when I mount the tire/tube/liner. If I powder coat my rims, won't that spring ring butcher up the face of the rim during reassembly ?

I figure if I paint them, I could go back and touch up ? Thoughts?

1947 - 3800 dually known as "Deadwrench"
