    So I recently bought fuel torque wheels, which I like, however I hate cleaning them and how they look when even slightly dirty. It is driving me crazy to the point I literally may sell them. I was also considering powdercoating a different color. Whats the opinions on this out there? Sell or powdercoat and if powdercoat , what color?

    I do like them and I literally just bought them. Pc will cost like 500 or so but if I sell them I'll prob lose that much out of them anyway. Any color that would be recommended that hides grime well?

    Have you thought about ceramic coating them? It wont solve your problem but will make the easier to clean/rinse off.

    No I haven't. What involved in that? This is what they look like literally after one rain storm... so annoying

    It's somewhat of a rabbit hole. Here is a good link to get started:

    https://www.torquedetail.com/blogs/ceramic-coating/diy-ceramic-coatings

    You can also go through tons of youtube videos as well. It's basically a semi-permanent coating that bonds to the paint and sheds water, dirt and grime much better then clear coat does.

    That is one of the issues with black wheels. And your being a matte finish makes it worse. Not sure I would want to spend the $ to powder coat myself, Id sell and get something else.
