That said, the paint here is a very light coating that in practice I have never experienced a lug nut or wheel bolt coming loose, or a vibration due to changing the hubcentric nature.
Leading evidence: 'Replace hubcentric nature' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace hubcentric nature' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hey guys, I'm posting this link I just put in the marketplace section in case anyone is interested.

Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,

Painting the hub flange sure looks nice in the advert pictures but is a big no no if the OEM doesn't paint or coat but only galvanizes a steel part...
It alters the coefficient of friction between hub flange and brake disk on which the fastening/load transfer from wheel to hub relies.
On top of that the softness of the paint layer can lead to loosening of the wheel bolts. They could ultimately break as once slightly loose they are loaded in shear and bending instead of solely in tension.
Umm... yeah, there's a lot of bad from painting the hub. Adding to what hardtailer already said, unless you're guaranteeing uniformity of the layer thickness and hardness, now the wheel has also lost its two centering features on the hub face (axial alignment) and bore (radial alignment) so it won't bolt on as straight as it would to a bare metal hub. I'd be surprised if the car doesn't develop a wheel shake (even 0.2mm of wobble in the hub can be felt), which I guess should make you re-torque the wheel lugs often enough to prevent completely losing the lug bolts.
Both of these concerns are valid. The best example of this that I have experienced is when a wheel is powdercoated and you drive it after the first installation even with a proper torque spec. The thickness of the powdercoating compresses as it is loaded and heated. I have seen a lug nut back off 1/4 turn as a result. It is always good practice to retorque lug nuts after a wheel is installed. That said, the paint here is a very light coating that in practice I have never experienced a lug nut or wheel bolt coming loose, or a vibration due to changing the hubcentric nature. This is coming from cars driven on the street as well as on the track where myself or my team personally were tending to the cars. This is coming from a data sample of over 80 wheel carriers. The other concern that one could point out for the same reason is covering the area where the brake calipers bolt on. These pictures were taken pre shipping, these surfaces are wire wheeled before I send them out.
Exactly!
