Teflon Wheels

After spending 4 hours polishing wheels the other day and only getting one done (yes, I am driving around with one shiny wheel), I am starting to lean towards a set of teflon ones. I could have sworn I saw a new series out br American Racing in a magazine that were silver but still had the teflon finish. I have been looking all over their site, but I can't find any and am starting to think I was wrong. If I had a black truck I would do black wheels for sure, but I just don't think I would like the black teflon on my gray truck. So does anyone know if there are other teflon coated wheels out there or just the black ones?

Also, if anyone would be kind enough to photoshop a set of the black American Racing TRAX wheels coated in teflon just to see what it looks like, I will love you forever.

How often do you clean your wheels? I try to do mine at least once a week so that the brake dust and crap doesn't build up too much. As long as I do that it will take me a couple of hours to clean them all up. I did let them go for a couple of months without clean before and they were a beyotch to clean.

As far as the wheels I think that they have at least one set that is chrome and coated with teflon. I have the American Racing Victors in chrome which I don't even know if they make any more.

yep mine wheels are Teflon. God I love these things. Nothing sticks to teflon! lol

And btw, teflons would look awesome on your truck.

Also was you asking if they make Trax in teflon cause they do...

if you want them photoshopped get a pic of your truck at the same angle as the wheel and it'll be easy to put on your truck.

I used to have a picture saved on my computer of a dark shadow grey F150 with the teflon Mojaves and it looked good as hell.

Ya I am sure it will make some guys on here cry, but there are plenty of times when the truck goes without a bath for 3 months. That was the first time I polished them since I bought them a year ago. I just need something that is easy to take care of like the stock wheels are and preferred something kinda shiny other than chrome.

Hey Impact,
Think you could put the trax on at this angle? I don't really have any good pics of the truck at the angle of the wheel.

Thanks!
