Ok now I can tell the difference. Much like the body color I can’t ever decide which option I like better. I usually prefer what ever color I see last.Here's a side-by-side. Added to OP

Glad to see someone else that's not a fan of all-black wheels.

Powder coat is cheap, easy, and durable. It’s the way to go… under $100 for 5 rings.

Correct.Sasquatch rings do appear to be different than badland rings. Mine don’t have the “fangs”…
I’m still waiting for someone to check actually fitment comparability between the two.

The dealer can look up train location easily in 2 minutes. Just have to bug him/her.

I agree the lighter silver looks better! Has anyone thought about coating the Beauty Rings white? I'm considering a BaseSquatch in AMB, and getting the Beauty Rings coated white, instead of getting a whole set of white wheels to start. I think the AMB with white rings and the white retro stripe kit would look great together. Consider it Heritage Pkg Lite until white tops come out

Great job! Feel like it is pretty cost effective as well! I will have to keep them in mind when I get my ride as I am getting the same wheels as you.
I wonder if they could powder coat the grill and trail sights as well?
I am getting Cactus Gray and thinking of trying to recreate to some extend the Cactus Gray & white concept that was rolling around early on.
Maybe a more silver grill to match beauty rings and white trail sights?

If I had the equipment, I'd totally do it myself. I'd probably skip the chemical bath however
$200 was pretty reasonable though and I got them back in about three days so I'll let the pro's handle it.

Thanks,
The grill and trail sights are definitely plastic so not a candidate for powdercoat. Painting is your go to for those items.
will they have to tape the inside of the bolt holes before powder coating as well as the back where it marries the wheel? Never owned a bead lock capable wheel before, or had anything powder coated. Didn't know if the entire ring was coated and made to fit without a machine fit?
Wasn't sure if i needed to give the powder coaters special instructions when i drop them off or not.

The holes on mine were powdercoated from the factory which is why we stripped and blasted them. Adding more powder over the factory coating would have likely caused a problem. After coating, the holes did not require any adjustment for the bolts to pass through. Also, from the factory, there was a very light coating on the back almost looking like overspray. I went all out and had them do both sides. The fit was perfect and I haven't noticed any change in the ride.
Honestly the most difficult part of the process was unbolting and bolting them back up. There is a liberal amount of thread lock on them so its labor intensive. Trying not to scratch the powdercoat took some focus
