Painted my beadlock beauty rings gloss black (Sasquatch wheels)

[JPOPS5]

I agree black looks better than what they provided. Also, didn’t notice the lugs, I can’t believe Ford didn’t do black lugs. Is there anything special about lugs that I need to know before looking on Amazon or some place. I’m thinking of getting lock lugs, not sure it’s needed…

also, I have a BL SAS 51 and bought a 51/matteblack Ford emblem to replace factory. I was thinking matte black for pony, retro bronco emblem in matteto replaceSas sticker and then rings in matte black. Actually convinced myself to DIY plastidip matte, but now a neighbor is saying don’t do it in MN weather, it will peal for sure. I’m not sure if he’s just trying to get me going…
None the less, anyone have thoughts on this, pics if you have done similar? I also keep going back and forth on matte, grill match or gloss on the rings. Gloss would match the wheel, matte to match the decals and grill to match the grill/mic…

I’ve done a fair bit of plasti-dip on various vehicles in MN with good results. Of course it’s not the same as powder-coating for durability on wheels or other areas that can see harsh wear, but the upside is it’s easy to peel off and do again if needed, or if u just want to change color, sheen, etc.

Dropped my rings off to get blasted and powder coated today.
Anyone have a link to the black Ford and Bronco emblems?
And do you think these will work on stock Sasquatch wheels?

I see the black lugs getting marked up long term, in the spirit of my Basesquatch I think the rings will go black and the factory locking lugs nuts and rings bolts will stay chrome/silver for a small amount of contrast.

I have a little advantage of being a manager at a dealership. I had my body shop paint my rings. I also replaced the lugs with the ford performance black lugs. I think it looks a lot better. Just waiting on my new boards and a few decals and I’ll be done with accessories for oh maybe a month. Lol

Yeah, that was the first thing I did on mine. I hated the aluminum rings.

Most powder coating shops will do them for around $20/ring.
Much cheaper than buying new rings…

I did mine to match my Badlands grill. Changes the look of the truck completely…

are they now black or is that a dark gunmetal grey color? is it paint or powder coated?

Has anyone done carbon grey similar to the optional 33s?

I used these - for 5 wheels I got 2 sets - they are $101 per set on Amazon.

Beauty rings are just decorative correct? I can remove them And ride around without issue?

So i took my beauty rings off today with the intention of painting them black. But i dont know I kind of like the wheels better with them off.

I'm still waiting to get my ride next month, I was thinking of panting my rings as well to match the truck color ( code orange ) can I take them off without the tire going flat?

So I took mine off with the intention of painting the rings but think I am just leaving them sans rings. It looks really good with out them and didnt cost me a dime.

Wait so it's black under the beauty rings? I had assumed that it would be silver. Might have to give this a try!

22 Badlands SAS. I took off the ring on my spare, hoping to see black, but it's silver. Not sure why some would be black and others silver. I'm in the queue at a shop to get powder coated. I can't decide between the gray and the black. They both look great IMHO. What color gray was used in the pics in this thread? The gunmetal gray shown on the shop's website looks too light.

FYI, I'm in Austin, TX. I contacted several shops. The first wanted $175 PER RING!! The second shop wanted $80 PER RING. The third shop wanted $35/ea. which is reasonable to me. It's crazy that there can be such a difference in price for the same job...

I’ve been waiting to see someone paint them gray to match. That looks amazing! I keep going back and forth on mine to do black or gray and this just sold me!! Did you just tell the shop to match as best they could? It looks identical.
