If you just bought some rims and wanted it powder coated to a different color, how much more weight does it add? Just curious.

none... because they have to take off the previous clear coat (if they are doing it right) to add the new coat.. so its nothing added

Acutally you'll find that powdercoating rims adds 15 grams per rim.

Apparently someone didn't get the joke. Bottom line is I wouldn't worry about it.
