i have a set of polished aluminum AR's. everyone who says never put polished aluminum on a DD is correct. you will never know how bad polished aluminum is till you own a set. but i got a wicked deal on them and i like the style, jus not the high maintnence finish.
the finish is to the point after 5yrs DD duty that even right after i polish them you could walk up to the truck and think they need polished again. i am contemplatin havin them blasted and powdercoated.
was also interested to hear opinions on teflon coating. anyone got teflon coated rims? do you like em? are they worth the money? got pics?

also where would i go to get these rims teflon coated??

 

got pics of them?

if you get them powdercoated get white, white and sonic blue look great together!

 

i think white may be a lil too much for my taste. maybe the same gery i painted my bumpers...

old pic, but here ya go:

 

Dude that picture is sweet! 2 points for you!

 

thanks, that is from the year i spent out in wyoming. lots of good wheelin out there

 

Ever hear of getting them powdercoated? There is a such thing as Clear Powdercoat, just idk if you would want to do it to used wheels.
