Normally baking at 190 deg. C (375F) to 200 deg. C (400F) will remove the atomic Hydrogen before it has had chance to migrate and become molecular. Documented tests carried out by the Spring Research Institute in the UK have suggested that if baking is carried out within 24 hrs. of plating the Hydrogen can be removed. However it appears that many Military specifications request that the treatment be carried out within a much tighter timescale.

Timmyb Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 There is a 22.5 x 9 inch offset rim which gives it a wider look but can still run standard tyre size. I heard of a bloke who was building a kit car and had some suspension components chromed and was told he couldn’t use them. Must of been for that reason. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53941-spoked-wheels/#findComment-403371 Share on other sites More sharing options...
