Powder coating bead lock rings...need color help!

[Airmousam]

Having trouble deciding between gloss black and satin...I've been leaning satin, but buddies are saying gloss..wheel itself looks satin..what do you guys think? Any other ideas? Thanks for any input!

Pink!

Seriously, I think satin would look good.

 

[tjbrowder]

I say gloss.....would contrast nicely against the satin on the wheel.

Can’t wait to see them

If you go gloss, your going to match the black paint perfectly. Just look at the entire side of your truck, it’s a super shiny black for the 2 tone. It will match it perfect, and give the wheel additional contrast.

If you do the satin, you will be matching to rim, which is great too. Will look a bit more rugged looking, less noticeable on scratches etc. If you are gonna do this kinda driving Satin imo

for me I’d do gloss.

excited to see which ever you choose. you will be first to do it.

red to match hood and fenders. Add contrast?

Thanks guys, you're killing me...lol..actually powder coater mentioned red, but I'm thinking too loud and I'm not a red guy...got 24hrs to make my mind up

If gloss, your wheels will be noticed because of the contrast and people will say, “Hey, you got bead locks!” If satin, they will blend in and your rims will look like a normal rim.

I think you got something special in the bead lock capable rings, so flaunt it. Go gloss and they will stand out, but not to the extent they currently do. It’ll be the perfect amount. IMHO.

Or you can go red.

A black finish is what Mopar sells for the 1500s.

You could do red bolt heads

Hmmm...can the bolt heads be powder coated? Assume yes..or should I try and source them? .thx

I would go with what will match the scratches they are made to receive.

Here's tacky... blue to match the shock sleeve.

What would be sick is matching them to your paint colour

 

[olyelr]

Yep, I would probably go with as close to a grey as you can get to the color of your truck. Will stand out better against the black rim, yet will still blend in well.

I would do the hemi orange

Experience with powder coat here. Don’t go gloss. Do satin, it’s easier to keep clean, and to touch up if it gets scratched off-road.
