Looking sharp. Can you share some closer pics of the wheels?

Here's a shot of just the wheel. I had it done at Straight Wheels in Schertz, TX (suburb of San Antonio). Paid $150 per wheel, $42 for color-matched paint, $15 for mount and balance, plus tax. $759 out the door (pricey but worth it to me for good quality work). They had it done the next day.

It took some research to find a place with a CNC lathe that could do the machined finish on the outward-facing surfaces that also had good reviews and was reasonably close to my home. Turns out, this place is walking distance from my neighborhood!

Just like they SHOULD have come from the factory! Nice work! I may have to have mine retouched mid-summer or maybe next summer. If so, I may go for a closer color match.

They were supposed to, but was a late change just prior to production.

Homer2 · 01-21-2021, 07:03 PM

why did the place need a lathe?

If you look closely at the face of the stock 50th wheels, there is a fine, machine-finished grain/texture. This is done on a CNC lathe. Otherwise, you will end up with a smooth, shiny flat surface that is not like the stock finish.

Agreed...great job!

Replacing the side marker lights. Way back when, I bought the Oracle colour matched side markers. and now I have one thats dead and one thats half dead. The half dead one has been that way since three months after install. I am not keen on more Oracle, but thinking I need to order something soon.

Anyone else sell colour matched?

If not, what did you guys go with,, tinted? How do they look.

I’ve not been a fan of Oracle for some time due to issues like this.

I went with the Diode Dynamics smoked ones. They look great.
