hot dip galvanized vehicle wheels

Post by Stephen » Thu Mar 22, 2018 9:32 pm

Does anyone know if it's safe to hot dip galvanize vehicle wheels?
Thinking of doing this for the Landy but am cautious as it doesn't seem to be done for some reason.

Thanks

Galvanising doesn't leave a completely smooth finish, I imagine you'd have trouble sealing the tyre against the rims if you did that.
If you need to go even faster, just imagine you are me.

Lots of trailer wheels are galvanised.
Best to speak to a galvaniser about your landy wheels.
