|  Bare aluminum wheels
I've been looking into Cerakoating some wheels, just to get the exact look I want. Question is, are aluminum wheels in silver color anodized silver? just clear coated? bare? Just trying to decide if all that surface prep will be worth it. Thanks,\. |

It depends on the brand of wheels.

I can say this they are out there, scarce and limited sizes. These flash wheels are flooding the market. Like chrome & polished alum also. It is a hunt, hope someone can prove me wrong |

Why not just powder coat them?

Locked up definitely offers bare aluminum wheels. Some of them have what they call a cinder finish which is just a process they explain on their website that they use to treat the wheels to remove machine marks. I can definitely understand the want for the cerakote finish. I’ve seen some people do it on rc wheels and it looks Really good. These are a set of locked up wheels I had powder coated red with gold flake and they turned out way better than expected. All the guy asked me to do was hit it with some steel wool to kind of polish them up that way it kept the cost down and more powder coat didn’t have to be added.    Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Never dealt with it. I do know PC will cover up any anodized color though. So it wouldn’t matter the original wheel color. | |
