7 Months later. Update:

The wheels have held up well. There are a couple of knicks from rocks, etc... However no cracking, flaking of any kind. You just have to be carefull with your impact wrech otherwise you will mar up your nice wheels. here is a photo from a couple of days ago. Finish still looks great. Still very happy with them.

I also used the same color to repaint my rusty running boards & hitch. Running boards look great, hitch (sucks the prep was not the best). I'm going to mask and do my front grill here as its pitted and chipped.

Are those 33x12.5s that you put on those stock wheels?
 
Well I thought i would post an update on how the duplicolor was holding up. I've put on 20K miles since this refinish. Here are a couple of shots of the 4 wheels.

Over all I'm pretty happy with how the wheels are holding up. I'm going to be cleaning, scuffing and touching up the wheels in a couple of days.

The tires/wheels have not been cleaned so they look a little drab. You can see some rock chips from wheeling/mudding here in FL. :) Gotta love how discount tire did not take off the center caps when putting on the new tires and thus scuffed up pretty bad my center caps. :mad:


Let me know if you have any questions.

I'm glad you updated this as I just picked up a 2 sets of 5 alloy wheels for both my 80 and a set for my E350 van . Both sets a as the dog says are"Ruff" from the NE weather
I think I'll try the van wheels 1st as they dont have tires on them yet and I'm not pressed for time .
