Best finish for Polished Lips on wheels? Polished, powdercoated or chrome?
I have a set of Super Advan SA3's like these:
![]() I have them all apart, with the bolts removed. The original finish was just a clear paint/powdercoat on top of the aluminum. I stripped the old clearcoat off and sanded one of the lips up to 2000 grit and polshed it. But I am worried that when they are exposed to the weather they will oxidize and but very difficult to repolish again around all of the bolts. I thought about sanding them to 400 grit to a "brushed" look, and having my powdercoater do them in clear, but I don't really like the brushed finish on the lips. Also, I thought about having the polished aluminum wheel powdercoated- but I am afraid that the clear would be prone to easily chipping or cracking off since there is not much adhesion. Lastly I thought about just having them chrome dipped, which I guess is expensive but would give a more durable finish? any suggestions? |
