K i know that i am going to get alot of flack but WHY ALL THE BLACK WHEELS!!!

yes craiger make a nice wheel black and chrome but DAMN!!! come on!!!!

you y'all agree that there are way too much of the ME TOO! black wheels or what?

give me your opinion.

 

SWEET TECH POST!

chrome= more expensive
chrome= more ugly

 

There's black wheels and there's the "chrome" ones. Other than beadlocks with colored rings how many other options are there really?

 

I have the stock AMC white wheels on my 87...

 

Hmm.

Buy fancy, shiny wheels, take XJ offroad, scratch up, spend hours polishing and cleaning

OR

Buy cheap, black wheels, take XJ offroad, scratch up and repair with a $3 can of black spray paint.

Seems obvious to me... maybe I'm weird.

I kept rims originally on the xj like the snowflakes but different.and am just going to sand and paint them on my own....not black or chrome.

 

I've spent hours polishing the chrome bumpers and trim on my Cutlass, and that's a car I never even drove in the rain, much less down a dirt road.

I couldn't fathom why anyone would ever want to put chrome rims on their OFF ROAD vehicle.

I detail cars for a living... I've cleaned enough chrome rims for a life time. If you don't clean them constantly, they look like garbage. Black wheels look good pretty much all of the time, they're cheaper, and if you bend one you can pound it back out with a hammer to at least get off the trail.

This was how it is was told to me buy a shop. People buy black cause the finish handles the abuse better. Also polished or chrome finishes aren't as strong as they used to be.

If you buy anything other than black 15x8's you're doing it wrong....

 

or just spary your own rims...

 

I'm taking off my clear coated alloys tomorrow and installing a set of BLACK Steel wheels.

I prefer steel wheels for wheeling and the finish on my alloys is corroded pretty bad

 

Gunmetal here.

 

Haha, the truth.

 

i have 15' 12.5 chromed steel and when the chrome wears (rusts) im gonna spray them with silver..

I like the discussion keep it up guys!

 

You like the discussion...? You're going to have some of that super sexy chrome spray paint?

You started a thread to have people tell you something that is extremely obvious?


There was a guy on here that one one red wheel, one blue wheel and I think the other two wheels were yellow.
