I also thought about powdercoating my rims, but I decided to just go with a polished wheel since I have chrome. So I bought a set of Americanforce wheels and all the people who I have talked to said it really depends on who powders them and how much upkeep you do to them. My main concern was getting rid of scratches, so I decided to just keep them polished so I could polish away scratches.
I got my eye on some American Force wheels too........I'm wondering though......how often do you REALLY need to polish them to keep them looking like "new" condition? Is it possible to keep them in like new condition or will they eventually haze over and/or pit and peel? What do you think?
Well they will never peel or pit since they are literally mirror polished solid blanks of aluminum. But I have had mine on the road now for about 3 weeks and I wipe them off with a very fine micro-towel and it barely has any scratches and they shine up like new. They probably need to be polished every 4-5 months since the only thing that will make them haze is the dirt getting trapped in the small scratches on the rim and you polish it to get rid of those scratches that dirt can get lodged into. I have been through many rims and these are by far the best quality rim I have owned. And the customer service through the company is the best I have ever had!
My shop is a dealer for them, we can get you them 10-15% lower then anyone else if you are wanting a set.
Plus American Force will guarantee the wheel for life, so I'd say that is a pretty dang good warranty!
I'm all about a discount! There's several different ones I like, but just as an example, let's say the 22x12 Evades (the Face Plate ones). How much would a set of 4 of those run, with the discount (plus American Force offers military discount as well so maybe you could discount them even further if they knew you were ordering them for a military member) shipped to Prairieville, La 70769? You threw out your line and now I'm nibbling!
There's a few others I like as well, both face plate editions and not....let's use that one for an example and see what it looks like and take it from there.....I'm guessing you can get tires as well?
