Today I bought a set of Rays engineered Toms C3-R Spirits from Japan for $200. They're getting powdercoated once they get here, I'm not sure of the colour just yet though.
How will the heat treatment of the powder coating affect the structure of the metal?

I honestly don't see that as being a major problem, they've already been treated like shit with an acrylic coat and it can't really get much worse than the state they're in :P The heat issue is something to consider. There's plenty of places that will actually recoat wheels however you like, although, it may work out safer just to get them stripped back to metal and painted instead.
I see what you're getting at, I wouldn't want a wheel to end up cracking like a piece of sh!t Rota, but, I dunno... It's just the risks your willing to take I guess. I may just end up getting them painted.
Build quality and feel of the coils is great, hyper coil springs to so not just some no name spring being used (hyper coil are well know in Motorsport throughout USA) Coils are valved to match the spring rates and you can see this when you look at the valve on the bottom. It's taped up and marked.
My rates are 14f 12r. Have not driven it yet and were doing a few more things to her.
