Step 7:57 is vital, not only for the safety of losing a wheel, break disc's disperse a lot of heat into your alloy wheels and if that heat carnt escape past the powder coating you will be soon replacing your warped disc's.
Most r not aware that incorrectly torqued lug nuts => warps rotors => steering wheel shakes when braking. BUT torque wrenches r sensitive to support hand placement (or lack of) wrt BOTH hands... keep free hand on socket head to support n maintain a consistent 90 degree angle (tests show how movement can affect the applied torque) and keep hand on grip at consistent spot (where u grab can dramatically affect torque...think leverage). also, if a lug nut is over tightened with your impact gun and then u finish off w the torque wrench as u did, the lug nut will of course be overtightened -- if it clicks without any turn, then do over. other critical tips: -do not loosen lugs ever with a torque wrench. use a normal socket wrench -completely loosen torque wrench to lowest torque setting and then tighten to highest setting 3X (yes, 3 times!) before each use -loosen torque wrench to lowest setting when storing -do not use cheap torque wrenches which can be inconsistent -chock wheels to minimize vehicle movement as u torque -tune torque wrench as recommended by mfgr -etc

I don't get the 2 points on why to apply the powder on the hot wheel. To outgas the metal? That's fine, just let the wheel cool down afterwards and it will still be outgassed. And to see how much you put on? If i'm not mistaken you can get a mil guage for powder and even if not, a professional that does this all the time will know how much they put on. On a hot wheel you will lose some of that self levelling ability of the powder.
1) it saves time, no waiting to cool down, less time to get back upto temp 2) powder primers can tend to get a smoother finish hot spraying Just be careful as you can get sags in powder if you not experienced enough
You heat the wheel up because alloy is porrouse your taking out the dampness air and any gases if you let the wheel cool down you could then get the air dampness back in. If you do the wheel cold you would get pin holes where the air dampness gases are coming out.
Great end results, products and services look great, I hope The lug nuts were torqued, and please consider using Eye protection, in all the processes, so you keep delivering awesome products, remember safety,safety safety Jose Kansas
WARNING Those tire pressure sensors know which wheel they are on. If you rotate the tires to another position the vehicle system computer will no longer know which tire is where and it will give false readings ___ such as right front low when the that is low is now is actually in the left rear position.

do you apply the primer while the wheels still hot?! should you wait them to cool down and the clean them again then ply the primer while they are cold?
you put the powder on hot because you dont know what you are doing, putting it on hot wrong because you dont know how much you are putting on, alot orange peel on the left rim
It is always so rewarding to watch a skilled craftsman work his magic.

But no torque wrench on the lug nuts?
abs. mandatory on modern cars !!

-do not loosen lugs ever with a torque wrench. use a normal socket wrench
-completely loosen torque wrench to lowest torque setting and then tighten to highest setting 3X (yes, 3 times!) before each use
-loosen torque wrench to lowest setting when storing
-do not use cheap torque wrenches which can be inconsistent
-chock wheels to minimize vehicle movement as u torque
-tune torque wrench as recommended by mfgr

Thanks man. Your efforts are appreciated
Great video... a true Subject Matter Expert!!
Nice work! Though you forgot to copperslip where the hub and wheel mate. Also please use a torque wrench on wheel nuts. But otherwise nice work!
What a splendid job you done buddy, see ya next year when the wheels have been curbed again
Hello what is the RAL color you use?
at min 6:32 what gun are you using ? and what kind of coating are you using ? thank you !
You don't need that stupid canned music on your video, the content is good as is.
A nice bit of TIG welding, not an easy process to master.
This is the definition of done the proper way
Does the powder lay on top and you skim if off similar to wet paint? Never seen powder applied in a waterfall booth before this video.

Yep
What is the chemical you use to strip wheels?

It's somebody outside their know what is The chemical in the tank . He's using. Please email at armado60@gmail.com
Brilliant job need my S8 Audi doing i live in Liverpool any ideas were too take the car too have the wheels done THANKS
10:10 Better to tighten with a calibrated torque wrench, than an impact gun...
Impact guns have torque settings....

So lacquer is better than clear polyurethane? TIA

The primer is powder coating, the color is spray paint

Looked at this and its dangerous not to mention the same price as new. Very hard to balance because the finish is not consistent on the rim.
joe blow you are afucking tool stfu about what you don’t know to be true ya fucking idiot
Question : For safety, why is the torque not checked on the wheel nuts before driving ?
Because he dont give a shit about the costumer just repair the rim

nice work mate.
do you apply the silver to the barrel or just leave it in primer?

That's an impact drill, same thing as a torque wrench.
It could overtorque the lugnuts and get the lugs stuck in them
