Lightswitch Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 I recently put my gold rims back on the Shee because I like the look. I was thinking about upgrading to beadlock so here lies my question. Has anyone anodized the wheel or ring of any of the beadlock wheels out there? I was considering anodizing the wheel with a black ring or anodizing the ring with a black wheel. Any wear considerations or thoughts? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 Sounds tough. Why not powder coat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATV_hub Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 Are you anodizing because you want a black and gold combo? Like anything anodizing will scratch and wear off over time if the wheels are getting knocked. Paying for the removal of the factory finish, polishing and and anodizing will probably equal the cost of a set of hipers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightswitch Posted January 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 My thought (maybe wrong) is to get a polished aluminum deadlock wheel and anodize it gold. I would use a black ring hoping most damage will be on the ring and easy to replace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightswitch Posted January 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 How are the Alba beadlocks? Is it worth saving money on the rims if I powder coat them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATV_hub Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 I would put the money towards a better wheel set instead of powder coating if it was mine, but it’s your bike, probably depends on how hard your going to beat on the rims too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
