I had a buddy that had a silver denim Train and he had the front and rear wheels along with the rotors and pulley all done in wrinkle black.
I thought it looked good.

I kinda went through the same thing deciding what to do with mine.
I just went gloss black.
Either way, do what you want.

How hard would it be to clean a wrinkle black rim? That would be my biggest concern.

I think it would look good with wrinkle black rims, but chrome spokes. But it's got to be to your liking, not mine or anyone elses.

So whats up on the wheel? Is is staying rat Rodded or coming home to team Glam-Boi?

Did you already install the Progressive kit?? Why is the front end so derned high?

U know what they say good minds think alike

And you know this!!

Stay tuned for my winter-time snows on the ground attempt to mod the Rinehart 2-1's stock baffle down at the Dyno shop. We have a plan for that thing that should gain 5HP+ on top without sacrificing any TQ numbers.

5.0, i would redo the front rim to match the new rear wheel. think it would look better with the vivid black tins and your fork lowers.

Deff let me know how that baffle mod works out. that would be awsome. The Progressive spings where installed when the fork sliders were gettin powder coated. figured it made sense to do it all at once.

I think i am gonna have the front done in gloss to match the rear one from hdwheels. If it wasnt for me spending so much money on the new rear wheel i would have it powder coated to match but it cost alota cake.

Yes, gloss would be good,especially if the back one will eventually be that way.
