I just picked up my wheels from being powder coated and having the face machined. I really wish I would have opted to have them clear coat the machined face. Is this a quick fix that I can do myself or would I be better off taking them back and having a professional take care of it? Overall I'm very satisfied with how they turned out.
I'm a card carrying do-it-yourselfer, but I would not feel comfortable clear coating wheels myself. It's a very tough life wheels live with all they are exposed to...brake dust, serious road grime, tires being mounted and dismounted etc.
That's a great before and after! Wheels look awesome. My advise would be to leave it to the professionals even though I'm a DIYer myself. I personally this time around would let someone else clear coat them if I were you.
Yeah thats what my gut feeling is telling me to do as well. I'm dropping them off this morning. I'm a DIY-er as well; I'm just not very confident with clear coat. I'm afraid I would mess up their hard work.
My favorite tires you go there.. there is a newer version out called the DSW06 which has a tread patter closer to the ContiExtreme Contact tire that was out years ago.. but both awesome tires.. the only ones that I would buy.

These are the DSW06's. I had a set on my stock wheels as well. Besides the car vibrating at highway speeds I was really pleased with them. The vibration wasn't from the tires or the wheels it was from the missing hub centric rings .
ahh indeed they are DWS06, my bad.. the tread pattern looked like the previous DWS model from the angle of the tires in the pics, must be my eyes..
Yeah there's small DWS06 stamped on the side wall. From my understanding the 06's tread pattern is the same. I think the biggest change was they stiffened up the sidewalls on the new tires to help prevent vibration after sharp cornering.
