I think the Myth Busters had busted this myth.

For $9 its worth a shot. I guess it would be in the same realm as a radar detector. It may or maynot work all the time.

 

hey guys! so I managed to scratch up my newly powder coated rims
any recommended solutions or products to correct this sadness?

 

It looks very minor. Can you add touch up paint to it? Chance are you will end up with another if you uses your truck as a truck

 

the whole surface area is scratched up so I wouldn't call it minor. touch up wont do anything, I would say the whole front surface needs to be polished. just wondering if any one knows a good polishing compound to correct light scratching. the front of the spokes are not suppose to look white lol that's all scratches, had the rims buried in swampy mud and while I was trying to get out in 4x4 the rocks and what not in the much scratched the whole surface are of both my passenger side rims. I do not use it as a truck very often, not many places around here for me to do so lol

I guess I should have said "cost effective"

 

​

Compared to some other wheels I was shopping before getting my F5s....they are very reasonable. Just sayin

​

 

oh don't get me wrong, they are on my list haha one day for sure! but since I just had my rims powder coated I would like to fix the currents ones as best I can. I wont cry over it since it is a truck and they are going to be my winter rims at one point. but for now I want it sitting pretty hahah

 

Roger that

They don't look too bad to me

 

I don't recall off hand. I do know that they are SAE (as opposed to metric). At least they were when Zach was still packaging the racks. Not sure if CBI changed that minor detail or not. I keep 1/4-20 on hand for anything that comes up, but now that I think about it- I don't know how that information helps you guys at all. The ones provided by Zach were bigger than that. My educated guess is 5/16-16 or 3/8-16.

 

lol that's not light reflecting off the rims, that's all scratch marks on the front going in a circular motion from my rim spinning in the muck

 

Damn man, sounds like they are winter wheels already.

​

 

just a comparison

what they should look like lol


and what they do look like

 

I'm starting to think the same lol ill try polishing them. sucks cuz I just got them put back on a few weeks ago. and I was without the truck for 4 weeks waiting for them. if they were a year old I wouldn't mind so much haha

 

Oh shit! I guess I could not tell the difference in the firts pic

 

Damn MAN! I feel your pain right now. That a lot of time and effort.
