<![CDATA[3M Carbon on Wheels...]]>I'm not going to start a new thread every time I coat something new I swear, but many people have asked about doing wheels. I did one of our display wheels today, and I think it turned out amazing!

30 minutes start to finish, so its getting quicker, which means cheaper for all of you to get stuff done!

And I'm sure the wheel is probably more exposed to moving air all the time which cools it down. The design of the wheel and alot of other issues would probably play into it as well it was just something that had crossed my mind.

I wouldn't be so worried about holding up to brake dust and grime and stuff as I would heat from the brakes. You have any idea how that would effect this stuff?

It takes a lot of heat from a heat gun to get this stuff to form quickly, so it takes heat fine. I don't believe I have ever heard of a wheel reaching that temp, cause if it did, what would happen to the rubber of the tire??? I've seen glowing red rotors in rally's, but I haven't seen the wheel get that hot. We have tested cleansing the stuff (grease, oil, dirt from the back shop), and it cleans up fine...

I may be wrong on my overall opinion on the heat of the wheel, but I will stand beside the product and if you get the wheels done and it melts or fails due to heat, I will give you a credit for the price paid for the wheels, towards wrapping other products in carbon.

i realise you said expect normal wear once you clear em, but have you actually applied these to anything driving yet is really my question?

Where the slit is in the spokes it isn't a straight 90* there it tapers down for the transition.

Once I get the car in the garage and up on jack stands I am thinking you will be getting some advan centers to cover. :icon_rr:

There are other colors, but they do not have near as much 'real' look to them. I'll show you the stuff when you come down.

I think raw would be great for a more 'showy' car, get them cleared and expect the same wear as other wheels.
