Default Had my I-forged Essen polished

I wasn't sure if I wanted to have them painted the color of the car, or polished. I figured if I had them polished, I could always have them painted later(would be more difficult the other way around.
I should be mounting them today

silverstone. When I had my SRT-10 ram, they came from the factory with a coat of clear. I could never get them to have that fresh polished look. I spoke with the guy at the chrome shop(they also polish), and he also recomended against coating them with clear. I know it's going to be a pain to keep clean, but "if" I can keep them clean it will look nice.

those are sick. nice choice.

you are right about painting them later

i've had my iforged for almost 2 years with no clearcoat and the polished finish is finally looking dull.

im gonna have them painted flat black in a few months

how much did they charge to repolish all the wheels??

$380, but I just brought them the center sections. They did a very nice job and actually polished b/w the spokes as well.
Thanks everyone, I snapped some quick photos before it got dark(only had one side installed). It looks nice, will settle down a little when I driver her around for a few minutes.

Default old pic

Here is an old pic for reference(I bought them used in that color)
Looks nice, and somewhat close here(color), but in person the color was way off.

Vertex sits really low so be careful cause you PS is inaccurate.
