The color in any anodized finish comes from dye. Over-aggressive cleaning with a caustic cleaner will cause the dye to bleed out.

I think the best option at this point is paint...not sure powder coat will stick to an anodized finish.

Thanks going to ask the guy if he thinks that and if that's true I'll stick to painting them. What color with a black car would look good on the tires? Here is my car now.

I thought your car was red from the picture. I say stick with a satin or semi gloss black...

They aren't replicas. They are forged aluminum wheels. Also the red Camaro was the owner of the original wheels. My car is black as you can tell

You see that arrow bottom left? Press it it'll save the picture instead of screenshoting it

Glad they are legit... I still think Black on Black is the way to go. I like the semigloss for easier clean up...

Semi-gloss black!

Your car is beautiful! Those wheels will look great when you get them finished. Very good looking ride!

Paint them orange, because orange is the new black.
