Default NewGen: Check out our Descendant with hidden hardware

Hi guys,

I finished a set of 18x9.5s and 18x12s for a customer last week, and shipped them yesterday with some Michelin PS2's but we shot a quick photo of the wheels to post them to show what the Descendant looks like with hidden hardware.

Shown here is our gun metal finish, and a brushed and clear coated outer.

Powder coated outers hold up to the elements super well, and are easy to clean. Like any finish, if you curb your wheel, it will scratch, there's no defense for that, other than wider tires, or the "correct" width tire for the right rim width so there is some tire protection there. But if you are referring to rain, washing, and detailing, powder coat is very durable, and easy to keep up.

Thanks Jon, I appreciate your reply sorry for the dumb question. I'm trying to figure out which finishes to go with and that's been on my mind. One thing I do know is my wheels will be ordered from Driverz Inc.
