You don't necessarily need to PC.
Take the wheel off, and spray it with Muric or other industrial strong acid. USE BREATHING PROTECTION. Allow the acid to etch the metal. Once dry, throughly clean the wheel, then spray them with a acid etch primer. Finally top coat them with paint of your choice. This process produces a VERY durable finish in any color you want that is easy to repair, and will not corrode like polished or chromed metal.
The wheels on my truck were done years ago using this process. I used Rustoleum satin black. When I spray armor all on the tires, I dust some on the wheels and wipe clean, that's it for maintenance!

I've seen the same thing with chrome, but I also have a friend with those Rockstar wheels and they look like $hit from mud stains. Yeah, you can rattle-can them, but whether rattle-canned black looks better than stained chrome is a subjective matter. And you're right about the scratches, but we were talking about stains. :fdance:

Read al the way through the posts, and had a lot of the same questions. I tried to buy the Diesels, and ended up not receiving them because they are out of stock and will not be going back into production for 2-3 months. Ended up getting the 20" rockstars and love them. Bling or Black-Bling, didn't really play a role in my decision, rather how the truck looked versus the stock look. What he is after is a "look", not necessasarily the function as any of the wheel types can be damaged/stained/pitted/scratched. All depends on how you take care of your stuff. If you are going to scratch your wheels, then you are going to scratch the truck, what difference does it make. Get what you like.

No bling H2 is like a 20 year old, 5'4", 102 lb. woman with no jewelry, no makeup, no hair care, no tits, and a flat ass... Yeah she can get muddy, but who wants to really look at her....

After all, how can you tell if your rig is muddy enough without bling? If you can't see the blang anywhere, it's muddy enough!

BLING IS GOOD
BLING IS GREAT

NO BLING IS BBBBOOORRRRIIIINNNGGG, and after all... everybodies doing it.

If I see another set of black rock stars I am going to puke...
