Simon, Im referring to rims m8 not clothes. I understand almost everything out there comes from some third world country thats why its all cr@p
The site Reg put up has some decent rims. The problem is the more I look the more I dont know which one tickles my fancy. Just looking for a 4 or 5 spoke rim, matt black with no fiddly bits to clean

G'day Brian,

I'm up off the coast of Brunei at present. Been here 3 weeks with three to go. The weather has been kind as it normally is this time of year. The monsoon season at the end of the year through Feb/March can be a tad blowy and briney a bit lumpy.

Anyway, I digress.
Rims is what we's talkin' about.

I've been leaning toward 'Blacks' myself. But the down side of 'Black' is keeping them clean I hear?
I was wondering if you or any other fellas have any knowledge how the 'Black' Teflon coated rims stand up?

It may make it easier to clean em up? But how long would the coating last if your scrubbing mud, grit and sand off them?
Some of that outback red mud sticks like ****e to a blanket.

I've been looking at a set of the ATX AX188 Ledge - Black Teflon rims on that site www.4wheelparts.com and I think Tire Rack had them too.

Cheers,
Reg
