Breyton GTS-R 18 x 7 with no finish available?
What I am wondering is if the Breyton wheels can be had bare, no finish. I powdercoat at home and I want to do a custom color. Is this possible or should I just have a set stripped?

They are only offered painted, they would have to be stripped.

OK, thank you sir. Sandblasting them will be a pain, but worth it!

I wouldn't sandblast them, I'd use aircraft paint stripper on them.

I used sandblast as a generic term, they will be glass beaded after the stripper is used. Powdercoat goes on much nicer if the surface is bead blasted.

Well, things changed and I went with a different wheel, one I like much more. Didn't expect that to happen. THose will get powdercoated though, so I will post pics when done.
