My wheels where polished alloy/aluminium with clear-coat sprayed on them.(that is how they came from the factory)
you have to have the clear coat sandblasted off other wise the powder coating will bubble

I would sandblast the wheels no matter what the finish is on the wheels that way you KNOW it is going to last and stick.

I had a feeling you would like it...

I know the liners would really clean it up.

Utah sucks NOBODY MOVE HERE

75MPH=2,000-2,100 RPM's
it was about a 400-500 RPM drop

makes it really nice....perfect cruising ratio now IMHO

It's just plain Gloss Black Powder coating.

Don't get matte black unless you want them to look dirty all the time.
