Default Stock Alloy Wheels-- need a quick answer!

Ok so I have a guy that just asked if I could PC his Honda Element Alloy wheels... I know a lot of people are coating wheels so first does anyone know if these particular wheels are safe to coat? I don't know what "type" of alloy they are.

Thanks for the help!!

I am only answering from personal experience... take it for what you will.

Ok... now that that is over. I wouldnt hesitate to coat those wheels. Most all the current wheels are fine. You have to be careful when you get into the more.... 'expensive' alloys... such as you would find on hugh performance cars that are looking closely at weight. Or on motorcycles.

Again... take that for what you will. I would do it in a heartbeat.
