I used to prefer chrome, but matte black grew on me.  Hides dirty wheels too.
Something your jeep never had to be concerned with.

Now that Jay's truck is lifted and with decent tires, I hope to see him on the trail soon. Its been too long for him not to have a decent off-road vehicle.

One step ahead of you my friend. Finally get to join the 8lug crowd.

Unless you use really good paint, it will come off eventually.

So HD spray paint?


I don’t mind touching then up or repainting. Worst case, get them powder coated if it becomes a pain.

I've painted countless sets of wheels and unless you are using an abrasive cleaner or something harsh to rub them with you will not have any issues. Just prime them properly and set. Humidity is also a very important factor in painting.
I've grown tired of this.
