have it plated or andonized, don't powercoat it since it will not give you the "bling" in reflection

I did do some research before I decided to do the Gold Translucent Powercoat.

To get annodizing to shine you have to put a finish coat of powder anyway, seemd redundant.

Gold plating does not last and is $250+ a wheel.

The wheels have more "bling" that what the photos show I will try to take better photos.

Only $250 a wheel?For real gold?That is cheap.As for it lasting,well my engine parts are still going strong after atleast 5 months with the extreme heat too.


BTW the new pics you posted look way better than the other 1ns.They do look nice.Now post mounted pics!

Yea that is inside the engine bay, family owns a jewlery shop so I can tell you that gold plating on rims will NOT last long before they look like shit.
