Jimmy Wilson Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 (edited) Hey Joe, on your site...what does "glass beaded " mean on your new wheels?? By the way, they are really cool looking man!! I believe they have been "bead blasted" It leaves the metal with a matte finish, and a slight texture. Very fine glass beads are shot through a spray gun inside an enclosure. A lot of times it is done to remove old paint,and rust, to prepare metal for painting, but i bet in this application it is done for looks. It makes for a very attractive finish.

Sixx Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 Thanks Jimmy!! That's kind of what I was thinkin but wasn't sure!!
JDS Racing Posted May 18, 2013 Author Posted May 18, 2013 Jim is correct, I glass bead them to give a different look to the wheel.
