Beautiful looking wheel. I bet they would look great on my '68 camaro! How much for a set just like this but in satin black? 18x7 and 18x10.
Thanks, Mark

The Satin does not work well with the HTM. When we finish a wheel in this fashion, we powdercoat the center black, put the part back in the lathe and use a diamond tipped tool to recut the face. This diamond tool leaves a bright, almost polished finish. We then wash the part and powdercoat a clear over the entire piece. The final part is completely protected with a clear powdercoat. We can do the same process with a satin clear, but the HTM accent will not be clear and bright. It will look dull and cloudy. We could powdercoat the part satin black, then cut the face and not clear it, but this would create maintenace issues and the appearance would be short lived.

Thanks, Mark

Thanks for the explanation. Could you then please give me an estimate for the same exact wheels as shown in 18x7 ( 4.0" BS) and 18x10 (5.5" BS), 5x4.75 bolt pattern.
Thanks, Mark

Another cool example of the Dropkick. This set was ordered with a customer-spec'd custom painted center with Satin Black inner and outer. Still waiting to finalize the custom center cap.
