I have some Weld Racing Rod Lites that I am thinking I will give the black treatment. What is the best way to do this? Do I get them anodised or powder coated or something else entirely?

Thanks in advance

I like the 1/2 & 1/2.....Tried the black out on my grille also,,,,didn't like it and replaced it with a polished one.

Plastidip if you just wanna see what it looks like. I have both anodized and powder coated black wheels.

Another vote for powdercoat. The place I use will do the 1/2 and 1/2, full or 2 tone. $50 a wheel.

Powder coat if you're sure what you want. Plasti-dip if you just want to try it out. I personally like the blackout look. I got the beadlock ring blacked out when I had my wheels converted, and I'm getting a set of Keizer Full House fronts in black today.
