Re: hangin wheels solution

We use a tractor beam to hold the wheel in place during coating. It is operated by our flux capacitor... Seriously though we use the eye bolt method as it leaves no visible marks on the wheel. We used the chain method in the past but we had several customers that complained about the marks left inside the wheel (its covered by the tire right..go figure. ). But the customer is always right so now we use the eye bolt method.

I use a cart made for the wheels to lay flat so there is no chance of them swinging. Plus I've found it is the best way to fit the most in your oven at one time.

Can you post pictures of this cart?

We use chains here and we coat usually 30-60 wheels per month. I have never had a customer complain about the chain marks but I do let them know up front how I hang them. I have used the eye bolt method on some wheels but found I needed many bent on different angles and the chains work for all.

The reason I had complaints is the fact that the wheels were going in a show room to be sold and they were going to be displayed without tires mounted on them. I use 1/4 inch thick by 2 inch wide metal stock with a hole drilled in the bottom to hang the wheel with. The bolt goes through the valve stem hole and then through the hole in the metal. I adjust the balance of the wheel by moving the bolt through the metal hanger until it hangs at the angle I want it to. This allows me to use a straight bolt for every wheel. The rigid metal also keeps the wheel from twisting and swinging like it sometimes does on a chain.

^^^ This is what I do. Except I just bought metal strips that had holes drilled every 1" or so. It's available at HD and allows it to be adjustable.
