When choosing a
Custom Wheels, you are given the opportunity to decide what finish your custom wheels will have. Custom Wheels n Rims offer the following tips on each type of finish so you can make the best decision. Our Custom Wheels and Rims Sponsors will also help you choose just the right finish.
Painted Finish
Painted Finish: Paint can be a variety of colors, from white to black. However, the most common color for custom wheels is silver.
Paint, when applied through a powder coating process, is a very durable finish. Paint becomes even more effective when it has a clear coat over it. A painted and clear-coated aluminum wheel is the most corrosion resistant wheel available. Paint has very few downfalls and is relatively inexpensive. It can chip and scratch but is very resistant to this.

Chrome Plated Finish: Chrome plating can be done on both steel and aluminum wheels. Chrome plating creates an exceptionally high luster finish with great durability.
Chrome Plated Custom Wheel
Chrome plating aluminum is much more involved than most people realize. What you see when you look at a chrome wheel is actually the chrome being similar to a clear coat.
Chrome plating is easy to clean with non-abrasive cleaners. The finish will last for many years if properly maintained.
Machined Finish
Machined Finish: This is basically a wheel with no finish. A wheel may also be painted and machined. A painted and machined wheel starts as a painted wheel and then has a section of the paint machined off.
What you see in the machined portion is the actual material that the wheel is made from. It is applicable only to alloy wheels and if covered with a clear coat finish has the same characteristics as a painted finish. A machined wheel without a clear finish requires regular maintenance and may discolor with age.
Polished Finish
Polished Finish: A polished wheel is the raw material that has been buffed or polished to a shiny finish. In this cases the raw material is aluminum.
No paint or coatings are applied to the wheel. Polished wheels have a appearance similar to chrome but must be
re-polished regularly to maintain the luster. Make sure you understand the maintenance requirements of a polished wheel if you choose this finish. We recommend 2EZ Polish.
