hey guys was looking to get some information on what coating would be best for my wheels, they are Weld racing with the black center and I wanna coat them since they are brand new before I put tires on. Any recommendations would help thanks .

You are most welcome manny! Glad I could help.

Thank you! Yes, I would love to be able to correct it, but you are a 'bit' far from me! LOL

Trying to get Nasty to move. Maybe someone needs to get a deal on free car transport. Still considering shipping my vehicle to Naples after admiring all the quality work posted here.

^^^Yes, it will work. Sometimes a 'normal' coating may give them a little sheen/shine. If you are worried about that, I would look into a matte paint coating. Dr. Beasley's is a solid choice.

Guys, I was able to pick up a set of True Forged Vectors for a great price. They just need a good polish.

I have some Mother's Mag and Aluminum Polish, is that ok or should I buy something nicer?
I just ordered an Adam's ceramic wheel coat kit, but I want them 100% before I coat them though. Will the Mother's get it done with a polishing ball/cone?

I cleaned up the back of one wheel and they really polished up pretty well with minimal cleaning/polish.

You can see how dull they are in the pic of the rear wheel lip. That's my little nephew helping me "fix" them. He always wants to help me "fix" everything.

Great looking wheels! Solid find and pickup! Yes, mothers will do the trick just fine. Use the power cones/etc first and then go by hand with a good quality soft towel to really get them shining. Then coat that sh!t and you will be all set!

The barrels on the 2 front wheels have some very light oxidation it looks like, was hoping a clean and polish would get it all out, but not so much. Any suggestions?

Post up some pics of what they look like after you did what ya did to them...Maybe needs some more elbow grease, or a different (heavier) polish.
