New Powder Coated FX4 Wheels
Here is a few pics of my truck and rims. I just had my FX4 wheels powder coated, dark smoked chrome, similar to dark shadow gray. What do you guys think?


I know I need to clean my wheel wells.

Looks nice. Matches up pretty well.

I'd like to someday powdercoat my xlt rims black.

It was $400 for all 4, but there are three coats of powder on it. 1 coat of chrome, 1 coat of dark smoke(with metallic flake), and 1 coat of clear powdercoat.

I"ve never seen anyone do them in white... (not sure how they would look after brake dust and such..) but could look good if you kept em clean

Looks good I like it. But I think you need to PTM the flares now. Looks almost like you got two different shades of greay going on. Also you need to either PTM or lose the chrome steps and PTM the grille!
