Flat Black shown. Gloss Black is a bit harder to do - picture a deeper black with shine. Now get a kit from me.

I am running a summer sale right now.

Not everyone has $100+ for the cost of powdercoating each wheel and the time to have tires removed and re-mounted. Plus, with proper prep and application, painted wheels are extremely durable.

Don't get me wrong, powdercoating looks great. But painted wheels, when done right, can be just as effective in obtaining an awesome, durable look.

true, i say if you are going to wheel the truck, Powder coat. If your crawling the parking lots over top of the shopping buggies, paint em!

i agree, im thinking of painting my wheels black aswell, and i have already painted them white when i got the truck , the paint holds up very well, i painted mine with a rattle can, but with the right preperation it is very strong! i can have a go at my rim with a hammer and it hardly marks it i custom painted my ktm rims black and its super glossy and hasnt scratched one bit !

The only problem I have with powder coating rims, specially if you cral it is the scratches. one scrtch in powder coat and your out the money it took to get their. Scratch rattle can and just shoot it again with a little more paint...

for what it costs to Powdercoat , wouldn't it just be cheaper to buy a new set of wheels.
