Finally powder Coated
My friends cousin said he'd powder coat my wheels a while back for free and he recently brought his truck over for us to work on. So I decided to finally take him up on it since i'd be doing the work on his truck. Had a local place sand blast them for $100 and then I buffed up any areas where the lower layers were still peeling and blasting would have been too rough.
So here's what they looked like after I finished prepping them for coating.
And here is after being Coated! Will post more once mounted. Love the way they turned out. I just wish moto would have offered them in black. on the other hand i'm seeing these wheels pop up locally now and I'm going to be the only one with them in black

lol. yea. There's lil dips where I didn't get it smoothed out real well when I was buffing on them or where the sand ate down to the aluminum and pitted it but it's not bad and not too noticeable. Very happy with it in the end. Looks better than the chrome did.
Picked them up today and hope to get them mounted tomorrow. Going to buy some Red anodized lug nuts for em. Should look pretty sick.
