If you use tubes in powder coated wheels check out this!:

Benson's reply:
This is same as my wheels were done ...
One word of caution ... in case you use tubes and do not use a "tire flap" :
On three of the 5 wheels I had done there was a very sharp piece of Powder coat left where they removed the wire ... Sharp enough to cut an inner tube.
Since this is inside the wheel / tire I just chiseled off the sharp edges and painted the bare metal with paint. Just in case some water gets inside the tire!
