Powder coat is exactly what it sounds like, the paint is in powder form when it is applied using an electrical charge. Then it is backed onto the metal almost like a glaze, so it is much harder and does not chip easily.

my AVEO to VEOlicious for you babe
ok so also another question. i just wanna know what you guys think. but i have 15" rims right now. and i definitly wanna go bigger. . i just dont know 16" or 17 " ??
my AVEO to VEOlicious for you babe
If you go up in size you will have to drop your car or it'll start looken funny. 17" are to big if you don't drop, that's what I think. I'm running with 14" ASA Racing Wheels for the better handling.
ohhh ok. so its better to have smaller wheels for racing? just curious. i dont plan on doing an racing in the near future. but i did have future plans to lower my car, just a matter of money for springs. . . . so i guess not its money for springs and wheels. . . hmmmmm. how do you think 16 " would look without lowering?
my AVEO to VEOlicious for you babe
You will just need to mount 45's or 40's to keep the tire wall size down. Like a 205/45R16 or a 205/40R16, these should fill out the wheel well nicely.
I'm sorry I feel so stupid but if you don't mind can you explain, wat do all those numbers mean
my AVEO to VEOlicious for you babe
No prob, 205/40R16
(205) this is the width of the tire.
(40) is the hight of the side wall.
(R) is the speed rating.
(16) is the rum size.
i hope you meant 45's up there not 55's.. they wont fit..
another thing, paint vs powder is about the same in durability if both are applied correctly. so just go with which will be cheaper for what you want.
Just a few quick technical details:Originally Posted by LarsBud
First number (205 in this case) is in mm (millimeters) so 20.5 cm wide from sidewall to sidewall.
Second number (40) is sidewall height measured in percentage of width (the first number) so in this case it would be 205x0.40=82 mm.
The (R) is the for radial tire construction type, not the speed rating (the speed rating is a letter after another number combination on the tire)
And the last number is the diameter of the rim in inches.
