Night Edition Wheels

[THC1]

<div class="bbWrapper">So my truck arrived with my ordered night edition. To quote my wife. “it needs a little bling or something.” Gloss black interior accents and gloss grill yet the wheels are basically flat. I’m considering painting them gloss or perhaps a clear coat. Anybody do this?</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Not sure where you live but my plan is to rock those in the winter, scamforce tires and all and run a nice wheel/tire combo for summer. <br /> <br /> I say this because it sounds like you have the green light to get a new set of wheels!!!<br /> <br /> Sent from my moto z3 using Tapatalk</div>

I fretting for weeks over the color of my truck before ordering, I can&#039;t imagine sorting through hundreds of wheels. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Sounds like you could list your wheels and tires for a fair amount and recoup some cost. I hear yah on the spending. Someone said recently that we are blessed to be in the position we are to buy and have new trucks. I concur. <br /> <br /> Sent from my moto z3 using Tapatalk</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Yes I already screwed up and mounted 35&#039;s. I should have ordered a combo set and listed mine mounted. I was considering listing them and see if I can get rid of them. Not sure what they would be worth wheels and tires &quot;unmounted&quot;</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Ever thought about powder coating them ?</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Never seen any glossy powder coating? Honestly the best plan I have right now it to use Dupli wheel paint in gloss black. I&#039;ll hit them with a scuff pad and see how it turns out.</div>

They can do gloss black easily. You&#039;ll want to get on the waiting list, then take the wheels in to him a day prior. Many powder shops have a tire machine to break the tires down for the job. That would minimize your turn around time. Expect a week without the wheels, but a quality private PC shop would do a better job than the factory wheels have on them.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">No problem for glossy powder coating, I work for a division of Thomarios which main business is paint and powdercoat.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Not sure what the cost to powder coat is but if it’s close to the cost of a new rim it might be worth buying a new set of rims and tires and sell the factory wheel combo.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Those wheels market at about $800-$1,000. Same as the polished ones (same style) in my sig picture. Find someone to trade with. I bet there&#039;s a Bro out there sipping a Monster Energy in a flat bill hat looking at his polished 20s wishing they were the black ones.</div>
