The powder coater finally finished clear coating them last week, and I had the setup installed on Monday.
Mickey Thompson - 17x9
ProComp Extreme A/T - 285/70R17
This weekend I'm adding Adam's Machine Sealant, Brilliant Glaze and Americana Wax to add extra layers of protection and shine to the rims.
Unfortunately the installer scratched the inside hub and removed a thin strip of clear coat completely down to the raw metal. I'm going to call the powder coater today to see if they need to be recoated or I can apply a painted clear coat to seal up that small area.
Also, Mickey Thompson ships CHROME center caps with Polished Rims - WTF???? They CLEARLY look different so now I need to order a seperate set of polished caps (which they make) and have them coated so it all looks the same and withstands the elements. The stupidity of some companies is f*ing mind blowing.
A few low quality photos - i'll take better this wkd!!
Also, does anyone here have any thoughts for sealing up that small portion of the rim that does not have clear coat??
