I am having my 94 OEM 16s refinished soon by a local powdercoating shop and wanted to make sure I get this right. The wheels have hammer-on wheel weights on the outer faces….is that a necessity (to avoid rotor/caliper clearance issues) or can you get away with just stick-on wheel weights on the back barrels (as with modern cars)?
When I had my OEM 16” LS430 wheels refinished for my Lexus, we had to use hammer-on weights because the stick-on weights were rubbing on the caliper…basically had to scratch newly refinished wheels. Would like to avoid that if possible on the 80 wheels. Can someone chime in?
Also is it ok to coat the steel inserts (where the lug nut holes are) or should those be masked off and kept raw?
