    I have a white ‘17 DC limited. With my winter set sitting there in the barn, considering making them look nice again. Bought them off a guy with a ‘15 so they are showing some rust.

    i know I should pull the tires off and have them powder coated, but that’s most likely going to be an expensive proposal, and I’m trying to retire.

    anyone have painting tips, suggestions? Kind of paint to use? Heck, I’d even consider suggestions of color… they are rusty silver now.

    I painted my winter set of alloys, I hand sanded what was left of the clear coat, prepped & panted.
    If I had steel wheels I would probably have them bead blasted and powder coated.
