Title: Magnesium slotted wheels
Post by: WhiskeyRebel on November 11, 2016, 03:54:46 PM
Any of you guys know where to find magnesium slots or wheels that have the same
dark grey look? Getting sick of shiny wheels.

As the others have said, you can just glass bead the aluminum for a nice satin finish. Or if you really want mag, there is real rodders wheels, but they are pricy

We blasted our vintage slots then used rattle can wheel paint Duplicolor Graphite--has held up well and looks great for cheapo--
