so if i get them sandblasted and powder coated they wont lessen the strength.
an as far as the weights go, what do they do i noticed them on other people's cobalt's. Never had them on my SVT focus(R.I.P). would the tire shop do the weights for me?

The tire shop will install the weights for you. Its called balancing the rim/tire and has to happen any time the tire is taken off the rim, like when it gets painted. And i doubt your focus didnt have any weights, they were probably just located inside the rims, as they were probably lipless, just like the ss rims.
