Does anyone know of any black wheels to buy?
Hopefully someone makes some nice black wheels in the same dimensions as the stock wheels. (I'm not interested in having the stock wheels painted or powder coated.) Thanks! |

What other methods of making wheels "black" are there other than paint or powder coat?
Just curious? Travis http://www.HummerTeam.com |
from the pics thread...there are a couple in there with black wheels.

I know 4 Wheel Parts Wholesalers offers a black beadlocked Rock Crawler wheel similiar to the one in the second picture above.

Travis,
I don't have a problem with paint or powercoat. I just dislike the stock cast Hummer wheels -- cast Aluminum is much weaker than forged, and the pattern of the stock wheels is difficult to clean. I also dislike steel wheels because they're usually weak, heavy, and rust prone. So I'm looking for nice forged Aluminum wheels that are painted or powder coated. |
Damn those XZLs are sexy!!!! It looks odd with the skinny tire. Oh yea I think drtyfn has the blacked out rims.

Just did these by powdercoating some AR Atlas wheels..........
Age is a state of mind. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter..... |
Ticket,
Gotcha, I understand now, and fully agree about the stock rims... I have a friend who is a manufacturer of forged rims, I'll ask if they can take a forged wheel, and powder coat it instead of chrome. Most off the shelf black rims I have seen are pretty plain. Their chrome versions are at http://www.t2hummer.com/T2Hummer/WHEELTIRE.HTM Travis http://www.HummerTeam.com |
That's just the kinda wheel I'm after, Mister Ed!
You got a decent design -- looks nice and also looks easy to clean. If you could let me know where you had them powder coated, I would appreciate it. I live in the northeast. Travis, something like these in black might be nice: http://www.t2hummer.com/T2Hummer/b1.HTM Thanks folks. |
Wheels are polished American Racing Atlas wheels that are 17x10.......My friends at Off Road Sport Truck 866-816-truk had them powder coated for me. powder coater is unknown to me but someone in the Atlanta area......$100 a wheel...
