OK so I have been looking for a set of wheels for a long time and just can never make up my mind on what I want them to look like for my truck and the rest of the work I have done to it. I have been toying with the idea of a used set of wheels and cleaning them up and then getting them powder coated to the color I want. I found a set of Helo wheels that were not properly maintained and are being sold for $100 for all four. They have a fair amount of pitting on them but since i was thinking of powder coating them didn't think it would matter.

My questions are if I get these and clean them up really well and then lightly sand the rough areas will the powder coating fill in the areas damaged from the pitting? Would I have any issues with the pitting again once the coating is done or will that seal the problem? And is there anything else i would need to do to rep them for the coating?


Thanks for any help you can provide.
