So I have a 2017 truck. I was able to get some 6 spoke stock 20s for it. They have a few chips in them from someone being a little too aggressive with the socket. Anyways I was thinking about either getting them touched up locally by someone my Ford dealership recommends or powder coating them altogether a slightly different color. I was thinking maybe a textured gunmetal color? or a satin metallic gunmetal? I like the look of stock wheels but wouldn't mind a slightly darker wheel. I do not want to powder coat them black.

Stock 6 spoke Textured gunmetal is bottom left (with no plastic on it)

Hmm... if you want a darker wheel, why not try to have the wheels painted in Magnetic metallic? It would make your truck completely monotone, providing you have painted bumpers. But! unlike an all-black-everything truck, Magnetic metallic would pop; it's such a great "color".

The gunmetal you show would also work well.

Or, I wonder how they'd look in Lithium on a Magnetic truck, or if it would clash.

NVM, looked up the earlier posts. About $75 bucks a pop, damn. Wonder if he'd charge less if I sent him mine for painting.

Thank you for the reply. I do have the painted bumpers but am not really wanting that monotone look. Would the textured gunmetal color you think have enough difference in the color to look slightly different then that truck?

The inexpensive Ion wheels that are on my truck have a matte, coarse gunmetal finish on them...
