Has anyone had any Black Contrast Cut wheels from any of the different companies for an extended period of time? Im asking because i was wondering whether or not over time the machined aluminum that is the "contrast cut" will discolor and dull since it is bare and not chrome? to be specific i was eying the Xtreme Machine Black Cut Stilleto wheels.

 

Always good to provide a link or pic ...

above is the link to the style contrast cut wheel i was interested in, the Stilleto wheel. Here's what i know, the wheels are powdercoated then grinded down on the edges to expose the "contrast cut." My fear is that since the exposed areas are bare aluminum that theyll over a short period of time begin to dull, and i dont wanna take a dremel to them everytime they do. If anyone out their has these contrast cut style of wheels and has any input please do cause i love this style wheel and wanna hear good things about them but am discouraged with bare aluminum and no finish. thanks

 

I was wondering the same thing! I guess no one else has any insight for us

 

3 years and mine still look good. Just wash em with soap and water when they get dirty.

 

As long as you clean and polish it should be fine. Thats what I have to do the the Fatbob wheels. Or you can get some brass wheels at http://brassballsbobbers.com.

For what it's worth, I have contrast cut wheels on my truck. I've had them on there for almost 3 years and they still look great.

 

I had BMF contrast cut wheels on my Super Duty. They stayed looking great through 2 winters.

 

I don't have contrast cut wheels, but I do have contrast cut foot pegs and have had no issues with them.

 

Thats what I've been wondering also. I have the HD typhoon wheels with the exposed aluminum. I have been watching them over the past year and they still look new. I plan to break out a can of Never-Dull and hit the raw aluminum this weekend, unless the weather is right for a ride!
