Changing my wheels from black to polished?

[MADDOG]

Powdercoating works pretty well.

I had my SRT wheels powdercoated in a color combo called "Silvervein". I considered black but the wheel detail would just be lost against the sidewall and the wheelwell liner. I wanted some color but no chrome.

I had the inside of the barrel along with the backside of the wheel center done with flat black. The outside of the barrel is silver with a small overlap of the Silvervein.

The face side of the rim and spokes are done in Silvervein. Last step was to give the entire wheel, except for the mounting hub, some clearcoat.

Nine years later they still look fantastic.

I always been and always will be a fan of shiny metal so I say go polished

Since we can’t decide... powdercost them black chrome and have the best of both words...


Black rims can look good depending on the color and style of vehicle it’s going on.

I've considered going white, but I'm only ever "on trend" by accident.

Until brake dust causes them to turn to sh*t. Seen it happen to many times or you’ll get tired of having to clean them everyday.

Not real big on white. Was thinking of a bronze maybe?

I like this color. Got these for the wife's Challenger back in December.

Ceramic brake pads and an electric pressure washer spray, yo. Gets way less dusty, and can blast it off (without hurting the wheel) in no time when you wash.

I like the bronze as well when done right, but it can be hard to get it right.

Ceramic coating helps too but I still for one don’t enjoy having to wash rims every day or every other day no matter how easy it is , your still going to get brake dust from ceramic pads.

I can’t stand black wheels on vehicles. I think all design gets lost in the darkness and they look like old cheap factory spare tire wheels. I vote anything chrome/silver/brushed/machined finish over anything black.
