Does anyone know where you can buy the Black Ops wheels that come on the new 2011's?

 

Quadratec sells them.

 

Probably cheaper to just get your stock wheels painted, or look for a used set.

 

I agree, paint them! Painted my Moabs, came out great.. Pics in my album

 

I would paint them but my jeep came with the cheap steal wheels, was looking to upgrade to the aluminum wheels. I looked into buying a used set and getting them powder coated but the shops here in Edmonton are charging like 100-150 a wheel to powder coat. Anyone know of any replica wheel places that might have them? I dont really see any after market black wheels I like.

 

The BlackOps are the same wheels the Mountain editions came with. The Mamba MR1 would be the closest thing to an aftermarket version: http://www.quadratec.com/products/92615_1311_07.htm

 

Will they hold up to abuse on the the trails if i paint them my self?

 

All wheels will scratch on the trail if your rubbing them on rocks. I vote for buying some take offs, painting them and you can always touch them up later after you scratch them.

 

It's all in the prep work before painting. Dupli-Color makes wheel specific paint in a spray can: duplicolor.com/products/wheelCoating/

If you run your wheel across a rock, it doesn't matter what type of paint is on it, the rock will win that battle. The spray paint makes it easier to bandage the wound.

 

Right on thanks for the help guys!
