Default Wheel opinion

ok, give honest opinion, some of the clear is flaking off my wheels and drives me nuts, I was thinking of changing colors, my options are powder coat metallic silver, metallic gray, chrome "looks more polished than chrome"

what are your thoughts here is a pic of metallic gray plasti dip just to see what they would look like

Ron. Clean truck first off! And I would tell you if I didn't like them and I really think your truck pulls off that dark gray perfect!!! Love the FX4's

THX, my girl has 236000 on her and not a spot of rust. I think I am liking the gray, but that is why I am plasti dipping them before I spend the $$ on powder, I have looked at so many wheels and just keep going back to factory for quality
BTW she got treated to a new set of Goodyear Fortitude HT today

You can easily polish that to a Mirror Finish using Grinder, Buffing Wheel and Green Rouge.
