Thanks for the input. I didn't expect the quick replies. I like the polished wheels because I use the truck for work and when they get scratched, or when I drop a socket on em, I can polish out the damage. On the other hand, powdercoating is almost zero maintenance, but scratches will show up. I really like the way freshly polished aluminum looks, I polish the wheels every time I rotate the tires, 4k miles. The downside to polished aluminum is that it will eventually need to be polished. The downside to the powdercoating, is that it's fairly permanent, so if I change my mind, its new wheel time.

Breeze, I just noticed your post after replying, LOL. People's opinions of black wheels are always definite, there are no maybe's.
