Opinions Wanted

I currently have M/T Classic Locks with the polished lock rings on my truck.
https://www.ranger-forums.com/attach...ine=1320801358
I'm thinking about either buying some different-colored lock rings or having my polished ones powder-coated (transparent finish). I'm leaning towards either red or blue-either would work with what is going on with my truck. Black is not an option for me. Might also consider scuffing the rings for a "brushed" look. Any and all opinions are appreciated. Pics would be helpful too.
Thanks

red.

Red or black. Even though you said black wasn't an option.

I love those wheels. Those were the ones I wanted to get...
Now because I gotta be different, I gotta get something else :)

Oh, and get new rings

RLong31 11-08-2011 06:56 PM

If I had them... I would go red or black. I have red on the engine and red in the interior tho... why are you wanting red or blue ?

VH5150 11-10-2011 06:02 PM

anybody else?

01RangerEdge 11-10-2011 06:13 PM

I would go black

I would say red. It will be different.

A brushed look wont really be noticeable. Do you have plans to make anything else on your truck red? Like maybe the emblems or something?

Jason8n 11-10-2011 06:46 PM

What about DSG? I have stock wheels with DSG painted inserts. Red would look good if you had the FX4 decal with the red in it.

DSG would look cool... I think red or blue would stand out too much. Unless you mean a darker shade?

03edge 11-10-2011 06:51 PM

I'd paint them lime green or something neon, and I'm totally serious

VH5150 11-10-2011 06:59 PM

For the blue, I was thinking about the ones like Patrick has on his badass blue steppie that he rebuilt. For either red or blue, i was probably going to have them powdercoated in the translucent coating; the ones that M/T has pre-finished seem kinda "dead" in the pictures that I've seen of them. Translucent has a lot more "pop" and life to them.

That sounds like it'd look decent. I was thinking you were just going to do them a solid red or blue colour!

KLC 11-10-2011 09:18 PM

I would go with red.

VH5150 11-11-2011 06:07 PM

Thanks, everbody!
General concensus seems to be red, with was my original thought. I'm going to e-mail a couple of powder coating shops to see how much it will cost to have them coated in the translucent candy red.

Go Black.

Jason8n 11-11-2011 07:44 PM

Red will look good. Keep us posted.

VH5150 11-15-2011 05:32 PM

I just got a quote back on having them powder-coated candy red with a clear coat--$40 each. I think I'm gonna do it.

Doesn't sound like a bad price at all... it'll really change the look of the truck!

Go with DSG or black. They will look excellent,.
