The Popularity of Black Truck Wheels & Proper Maintanance

We hear it all day long.....why are Black Truck Wheels so popular? The answer for some may be relatively simply, while for others it’s a bit more. For most, the new look and variations of black truck wheel designs are what is driving the demand today. Chrome wheels were so popular for so long, but like many products in today's world, they got tiresome and new design ideas began to lag and become repetitive & boring. Black truck wheels are available in many unique designs and finishes with machined accents, higher end milled accents, dark tinted machined accents, even colored insert options in just about every color imaginable such as red, pink, camouflage and many, many, more. With all these different variations in designs, colors, and finishes, the love for a black truck rim is easy to understand.

Now for the little bit longer answer as to why Black Truck Wheels are the favorite off-road wheel design in today’s marketplace! If you love aftermarket truck wheels as much as we do, we can just about guarantee you have walked by or have owned a set of yesterday's corroded and pitted chrome wheels yourself. Whether they were on the truck for 1 week or 10 years, the pitting process of a chrome wheel can begin instantly upon installing them on your truck once exposed to some of the harsh chemicals and elements on today's roadways. The benefit of a quality black wheel in today's marketplace is that they are painted and then finished with a protective clear coat finish much like your truck’s painted finish. Assuming proper maintenance, the protective clear coat finish of today’s black trucks wheel can last many years longer than chrome dipped wheels maintaining the crisp & bright finish that you saw the first day you opened the boxes.

Please keep in mind, like many automotive products, one of the most important parts of owning a set of black truck wheels is proper maintenance. You ask, “What should I use to clean & maintain my black truck wheels or rims?”. The answer is simple, but with a word of caution. Much like your painted truck’s finish, you need to be certain that any wheel cleaning product is safe & approved for your wheels and won’t harm the protective clear coat finish. Many of yesteryear’s “wheel cleaners” are not safe for today’s painted truck finishes. Many of these products contain harsh acidic chemicals designed to quickly & easily remove dirt & debris, but these same harsh chemicals that make your cleaning process easier can harm the finish and shorten the life of your black wheel finish by causing the clear coat finish to peel off.  Even many of today's "mild" dish soaps can contain harsh acidic chemicals that can harm your wheels, so please use caution when cleaning your black truck rims!
