They look a little scraped up in the photos. It's tough to tell. I was thinking of having them powder coated dark metallic gray or black anyway, so it may not matter.

Well, I might need to rethink that. I got a quote back for powder coating. It was a full turn key deal. Drop the truck off, pick it up 3 days later with everything done. Remove the tires, coat the wheels, remount and balance, etc. $1100.

No. Hard pass.

I actually don't think it's that bad of a price since it includes the full service. It's just way more than I want to spend on this particular project.

If you lived closer you could use my powder coating oven and do it yourself or I help. Prob wouldn’t be as nice as theirs but you would only be out the cost of sandblasting, powder, and mounting of tires.

I'd rather paint them if I was going to do it.

They're marked as sold anyway.

I'd still need to paint them though. I really don't want silver.
