Powder coating and galvanization are both about the same in terms of rust resistance. If you like the black of the part #e42VR it would work just as well as a galvanized version #e62VR.

We have Loadstar 185/80-13 bias tires and wheels, and they are essentially the same weight; the difference is that the galvanized wheel #AM3S334 is steel with an 8-spoke design and is made to resist corrosion. Galvanized wheels are often the type…
