Any feedback on teflon wheels?

Anyone have any feedback on teflon wheels? Also, what brand are you running and what is the backspace? I'm thinking about getting the American Racing Mojave.

Any pics?
Thanks.

Hmmm, I guess eggs won't stick to 'em. J/K











I have only seen one set on a truck, they looked pretty good. I am partial to black, but I assume it is just a coating. Can't see it being any better than powder coat for durability. Based on my cooking utensils I doubt it would hold up any better than powder coating.

I ran those for a while. To me the teflon looks like old trailer wheels in a hurry. Like the design,like the idea, dont like the dingy look.

Running Mojaves on my truck, 4.5" backspacing I believe. Not the greatest pic, but gives you an idea. Thing I like best is the fact they don't show brake dust. Truck only gets washed every few months to maintain that "dirty sleeper look" and wheels look about the same whether clean or dirty

DEPENEDING ON THE QUALITY OF COATING...Teflon can be 100x more durable than powder coating. I have no idea which one is used by who...but I kinda doubt the very expensive stuff is used considering the cost of the wheel.

Thanks for the feedback. I might see if any of the Weld wheels are left at 75% off first. If not, I'll probably give the American Racing ones a shot.
