I have powder coated my weller wheels but when i have fitted them there seems to be wheel wobble.
I think this maybe due to the thickness of the powder coating where the wheel meets the hub, Should i remove the coating from the back of the wheel
where it meets the hub?
have you had them balanced again since the powder coat? as their is a fair chance the coat will have taken the wheel off balance
need balancing
I would defo remove the paint from the mounting face first.
I would assume they were balanced after refiting tyres, so unless they have thrown a weight off.
The only other thing would have been deformation when being baked, but thats highly unlikely.
It sounds like the 'wobble' when tight but not moving otherwise you wold of said they were unbalanced or vibrating. If so I had exactly the
same problem. . .
I noticed on one of my wheel sets that the silver coating did not allow the hub centre to go through the middle hole of the wheel. I think it just
gives the studs extra support and helps it centre the wheel. You know the big hole surrounded by the whell nut holes. I just shaved the coating off
back to ali and it was fine.
The bit I am talking about is the black part of the wheel in my avatar.

The wheels need proper balancing.
You need to skim the back of the wheel where it meets the hub, powder coat simply isn't flat enough to have as a mating surface.
I'd also recommend removing the powdercoat where the head of the wheel bolts/nuts sit, I've heard some horror stories about a supposedly
torqued wheel bolt not staying in place because of the powdercoat.
You also need them balancing, you can't powder coat with a tyre on (the tyre would cook) and unless they put the tyre back on perfectly as it was
it's going to be off balance.
