This is good to know the cost. 2 of mine need repairs and repainting from some h-core offroading. I was worried about them looking different than the others. I'll just repaint all 4 at that cost.

Didn't realize that much work went into it, I've got a buddy I work with that powder coated his own wheels and he made it seem like a pretty easy process.

I dropped a wheel into a deep rut once and scratched up one of the wheels real bad on the edge of the curb. Took a chunk out of the flat part of one of the spokes. He also fixed that for no extra charge. Looks perfect, you would never know otherwise.

Can you post a side view of your truck with the high gloss black wheels?

Kit Sullivan

Just a quick snap...I will post some good ones once I clean it up.

only problem i have with gloss black is that you always have to keep your tires shined or it looks weird. The matte black matches the tires better, technically.

Kit Sullivan

That strikes as kind of a silly "problem". If the tires aren't clean and shined, the rest of the truck ( including the wheels) probably won't be clean either...
I assume no one is going to clean and shine their wheels without also cleaning the truck and tires also, so...
I do agree that tires that are "shined up" do look better in conjunction with shiny black wheels, but even if they are clean and "dry"( no shine stuff), they still look good with the shiny wheels.

A big difference is that the inside/ backside of the rims ( the "barrell) was also powdercoated shiny black, and it seems to give the rims a "deeper" look somehow.

its pretty common, a dry slightly dirty tire is a lot lighter than the wheel in question. It's not usually a huge deal, but with the large sidewall on a truck wheel/tire its a bit more prominent. I've owned a lot of wheels, many gloss black wheels. Was my main gripe about the black ones.

I am about to put some wheels like this on my platinum because I like the look of them. They're off a buddies tremor.

Makes me want to get the stripe and paint my calipers red!
