If i can run CF wheels on the street, that is the best option. The problem i have with the signature wheels is the powder coat. I ran into an issue (that was my fault) and the solution was "take it to your local powder coat shop". Well, it came out looking like crap. That was a simple gloss black wheel that is not a complex powder coat. Here I have a set of the brushed black for the 500 and they are getting chips from the debris from the cup 2s. Certainly not a durable finish and certainly I cannot take these to my local powder coat shop to get re done. I will keep what I got, but I'm done with Signature.
Was it the original coating on the wheels from signature that's not durable or the repair from the local shop? I was seriously thinking about getting a set of SV902 in Brushed Bronze Tinted. But a little concerned now, 5K is allot of coin.
If I remember right, Signature wouldn't repair the powder coat if it was shipped to them, and would not ship the powder coat for a match to the buyer. Or something along those lines
The wheels that I am referring to had the original powder coat from the manufacturer. If you are leaning towards getting them, I would strongly suggest you get something that would be easy to match. I would reach out to a powder coater and show him what color you want. Ask him if he can match it. You would be safer with a gloss or matte solid color instead of an exotic color. Ill tell you right now, if you damage your powder coating, and you chose one of those exotic colors, you should be prepared to buy a whole new wheel because it is VERY unlikely that you will be able to record the wheel and make it look right.
T, if you are unhappy with the wheels you can always let me know. I would be happy to buy them back from you.
The Op hit a curb, not a durability issue. Any of the translucent or brushed finishes will be harder to match when compared to a solid color. It’s no different than a Candy color on a car. Some will be easier than others.
You are correct, we do not take wheels back in for repair. It’s an expensive process for clients to have to ship a single or multiple wheels for repair with no guarantee they will match once done. Each mixture of powder coating is done at the time each wheel is made. Slight variances can occur.
