It's probably just forged aluminum. For what it's worth, all 4 sets of hubs I have look dirty as hell, but just a good cleaning make them bright and shiney. No need for a clear coat.

Quote: what i want to do eventually when i get enough money and time to tear them down again, i want to have the hub bodies polished, the dial ring powdercoated black and the dial face dipped in chrome and then blued with heat... i know, its totally mall crawler, but i think that they would look sick...

maybe ill do that when i get some money to buy a second set...

Got them stripped today. They're (heavily) anodized. They'll be polished out and then receive double dark tint clear powder to match the adv1's on my Lamborghini. Should look good in a black and chrome 20.

Finally got around to rebuilding a set of spare hubs I had lying around. Can you tell that Doomy(She owns the truck) has a specific color theme shes trying to stick with? Hahaha.
