Had these 2025 20" AT wheels powdercoated black. Haven't mounted them yet, but can't decide whether i like them or not. Wife said she prefers the standard staples powdercoated black.

I powdercoated the original 20” AT brights glossy black. I love it.

I prefer black wheels and something always seemed a little off to me with the two tone AT darks.

Those look great. I had a set of the brights for sale for awhile that just weren't selling. My next step was to powdercoat them, but they ended up selling last week.

They look great! If you don’t want to mount them, give them to me, I will ?

NAY! To all of the Rivian options.

They're too much detail and depth to clean. I stuck with my RAM 2363s because of the ease of cleaning. Those damn staples took forever in every crevasse. These, while better looking than staples, are still crevassey.

No... but if ever cleaned a set of bbs wheels, you wouldn't mind the Rivian wheels?
Despite child labor laws, I cleaned my fair share of ornate wheels when my pops was a wholesaler, and I developed a love for simple designs. My first car was an e36, my second was an e46, and now I have the RAM wheels. KISS!

Ceramic coating makes everything just fall off them.
That's what I plan on doing before I have them mounted. I had some CCWs on a Mustang once and they were a pain and we didn't have ceramic coatings back then.

Just be sure to use real ceramic, not the sprays which are a scam. I used Avalon King Max on the entire truck, and Adam's Graphene tire coating, to get this look.

It starts out extra shiny, too much for my taste, then a day later is just a nice medium-matte. Last for months.
