Powdercoated my Outer Banks (OBX) wheels!

[RedHotFuzz]

Would love to see them in bronze. could be a game changer.

Agreed. Any Photoshop or Solidworks jockeys out there that could make this happen (virtually)?

i like them a lot. I'm gonna eventually look for a set of stock Badlands wheels and get them powdercoated as well. I opted for the optional beadlocks but i really preferred the stock Badlands wheels i just don't trust the clear coat on them to not start corroding here in MN so i wanted to coat them. I can't let the rig be down for weeks to get the rims coated so i'll have to get a spare set eventually

Hi all

After seeing a few others powdercoat their OBX wheels, I decided to follow along. The PC guys calls this Matte Black. It isn't really flat or matte...it just is NOT glossy. It has a smooth finish. Cost was $125 per wheel.

I went with BFG KO's in 255/70r18 which is the stock OBX size. These were available in a "D" rated tire. I was avoiding the taller "E" tire as did not want to change the highway characteristics too much. There is zero difference in ride quality from the stock Bridgstone Duellers. Very happy with the setup and how it turned out!

Almost looks as good as mine ;-)

Mine are getting done right now. I chose glossy. Wish I'd seen yours first, they look amazing. Now I'm questioning my choice

Mine was glossy and I love them.

This looks really great!
The only other thing I'm not yet sold on are the body colored flares on the OBX.

How’s the proportion of the tire to the wheel well look in person with the new tires vs OEM? I was gonna go up to 33”+ but now rethinking. Spoke with my tire guy, and he does not recommend E load on lighter vehicles such as Bronco and Jeeps.

BTW, powder coating does change the whole look of the OBX rims for the better. I’m pretty sure I‘m going to keep stock as the pin stripping from rocks whatnot won’t show as badly.

I just put 275/70/18 33's on my OBX I brought home yesterday. I actually think the Load E Terra Grapps are smoother than the Dueler AT's. They are slightly louder, but only by a hare.

Looks perfect.

Traded a case of beer to a buddy for his stock OBX wheels, and dropped them at the powdercoater. Wife just picked up our new Bronco this morning, will make the changeover quick.

Going with Oil Rubbed Bronze....pics pending in a week $90/wheel.

I just wanted to thank you guys for this thread. I had my Outer Banks Rims powder coated and new Toyo AT3 tires installed. What a difference.
