does anyone currently have anodized wheels in a titanium asphalt (matte black) in color? i'm curious as to how the finish holds up through cleaning and daily wear & tear?! i'm talkin' about the wheels face, not the lip.

thanks in advance!

No problem, just thought it might give you some insight if you knew the process the manufacturer was using, what kind of dye, thickness., etc...GL :thumbsup:

I've got anodized lips...in silver. Not hard to clean at all, actually, nothing really sticks to them. I was told though not to use windex on them, specially if their hot due to chance they may fog!

hey eko!

ya, i love that finish! i want matte black, but not "bland & dull"...if that makes any sense!lol
