Hi folks, I’ve just had my alloy wheels painted (not powder coat) and forgot to ask the painter how long I should leave them before fitting the tyres. I’m thinking two weeks but what do you think?
Although I’m keen to get them back on the car and see what they look like I’d rather wait if it’d better for the wheels

Have they been cooking in the recent sun? (Good)
Can you still mark them with a fingernail in an inconspicuous spot? (Bad)
I’ve had a couple out in the sun but as I’m at work all day and we’ve had some undesirable types in the town recently I haven’t wanted to leave them outside. They seem to survive the fingernail test.
