How have they held up against oxidation etc? I’m thinking of doing mine but not sure if I can get away with maintaining them without applying some sort of clear coat
Have you thought about brushing the rear applique? I have a F350 limited. I Like the paint matched bumpers. I like the brushed door handles. I hate the look of the applique.
That wouldn’t be abrasive enough to move metal you would definitely need to do sandpaper and maybe come back with a scotch brite or something like this to finish it off
Recently just sanded down my wheels, we’re chrome but switching to a brushed look 180, 220, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1500, 2000, 3000 then 5000 for a super clean brush
Use a dreamed tool, with a fine barrel sand paper for your spokes, my dremmel has a variable speed setting, and after you finish them buy a tub of where wax from chemical guys to protect them, or hit me up if you wanna try some of mine first, im pretty close to you...
Hey buddy, been wanting to run spe tunes but I read a review about having hard shifts from 4th to 5th and spe isn't correcting the issue or answering the customer ?
The shift are a little more firm in the higher gears due to less clutch packs. No harm to trans, gears locking in how they could be. I’m extremely happy with my SPE tunes.
ACanela85 my trucks a 2012. I do smoke, only on heavy throttle once in higher RPM it clean 🧼. It’s mostly due to stock gears 3.53 with 38’s. Once I regear it’ll be much cleaner. I’m running 5 inch full straight pipe, surprisingly I don’t notice any drone, again my 38’s Toyo M/T could be muffling the drone.
@dieselnm101 for the win 💪 but yeah if you are experiencing hard shifts then perform the trans relearn prodecure. theres a few steps ill paste it in here The 6R140 automatic transmission on the 2011 - 2018 6.7L Powerstroke has what is called Adaptive Memory and is constantly learning and adapting to different horsepower levels, temperatures, driving habits, etc. If you selected to tune the transmission during the Install Download process, the Transmission Adaptive Memory is automatically reset when the download completes. We highly recommend performing a Transmission Relearn procedure after installing transmission tuning to help the transmission perform correctly with the added horsepower. The 6R140 automatic transmission will eventually learn over time on its own, but the relearn procedure gives a good baseline for the adaptive learning and helps to speed up the learning process. To perform the relearn procedure, please follow these instructions: After tuning is installed, perform each of the following 0-80 MPH runs while in the HOT power level. During this relearn process, you may experience hesitation during shifts, hard shifts, or defuel patterns, all of which are normal: 0-80 MPH @ 25% throttle position, then slow down and come to a complete stop. 0-80 MPH @ 50% throttle position, then slow down and come to a complete stop. 0-80 MPH @ 100% throttle position, then slow down and come to a complete stop. The Transmission Relearn procedure is complete.
Do they require same maintenance care? Being in the oilfield my AF are f*Ed. Stained from the mud. I got them ceramic coated, but it didn't do anything.
I'd love to know myself....I have a lot of beautiful brushed aluminum on my motorcycles, They are only 2 years old and only ridden in good weather. However, I live next to the ocean and the salt air destroys everything. I've been wiping down the bike with Turtle Wx ceramic and none of the raw aluminum has changed or oxidized. Maybe it is the turtle wax.
I guess I’m old school. This makes no sense to me. Looks like someone screwed up the finish and hit it with scotchbrite to cover it up. Buy chrome and wipe them off once a week. Easy.
They were chrome plated not just bare, forged wheels are polished bare aluminum, cast wheels like these either are powdercoated or chrome plated of some sort 👍🏻
Blake McGourty not all the time. These specific Cali Summits are a raw aluminum, no chrome plating. Just like forces you have to polish these to get that “chrome” finish.
brushed on platinum looks good cause the truck already has brushed accents
The inner hillbilly in me says put it up on jack stands, have your buddy hit the gas and use a scotch bright pad
Hell yeah
@@bwillusmc Dale yeah **
This vid solidified my choice of getting brushed wheels for my black silverado:)
Wheels look sick love the brushed look on your truck
Thanks 👍
Where did you buy that sanding wheel for the grinder ??
Renegade has em. Bout 38 bucks a pop
Do you have a link for the buffing wheel you used
Looks great! This is what I need.
That brush pope bro! 👌
Great vid and good job on the wheels. Personally I prefer the polished look but what u did looks really good.
What about using a clear coat to protect and finish it off?
Where to get that wheel brush?
How have they held up against oxidation etc? I’m thinking of doing mine but not sure if I can get away with maintaining them without applying some sort of clear coat
What all products did you use? Also did you find a method that works for the inner spokes
I didn’t know you could sand/ polish a cast wheel
You really need to clear coat or powdercoat over that. That completely raw aluminum will water spot and oxidize like no other, ask me how I know🤦🏻
Exactly what I want to do to mine, I prefer a satin finish. Thanks!
I think u did a damn nice job...now level up and wet sand that clear coat on the blk and u waving bro
Where did you buy the disc wheel at can't find any anywhere
What size tire and rim do you have I want the same size on mine and do you only have a leveling kit on it ?
+1 looking for the same info. Looks like maybe 10.5” tires on 10” rims?
Thanks bro, this helped out a lot. Sweet platty btw👌🏾
Looks real good
Can u make brushed a mirror finish
Have you thought about brushing the rear applique? I have a F350 limited. I Like the paint matched bumpers. I like the brushed door handles. I hate the look of the applique.
Did you clear coat them?
Hi there, I want to have a brushed look on my Work VS-XX's reverse lip, will it work? or will it cause rust?
Is there a way to go from brushed to polished?
My back right wheel did this same thing with these wheels
Could I do this on brushed wheels to fix curb rash? There’s no videos anywhere about how to fix curb rash on a brushed wheel
Somebody answer this

@@Baggedbk1 by hand?
@@betodrk I took my wheels apart since they were three piece and used a sander but you can do it by hand, just have to find the right videos
They make polishers on a frame with wheels. Depending on intent you can make one similar or buy into one.
You did that nice 👍
what size are your wheels
I dig the look big time
Hello, where did you get the spike lug nuts for the rims? Thanks Louis
What size wheels and tires?
What size it the lip of the wheel??
Looks a lot better🤙🇺🇸
Shoulda jacked it up put it in drive and held the scotch brite
What is that wheel called?
What was the wheel called. Where can I buy one?
Yeha I figured he would put it in the comments. I want to know as well.
what brand of wheels?
I have the same wheels but 1 wheel has a curb rash will sanding it down help?
yeah depends on how deep. Do a quick search on TH-cam on repairing curb rash 👍
Have someone spin the wheel for you..
Use a dreamed tool, with a fine barrel sand paper for your spokes, my dremmel has a variable speed setting, and after you finish them buy a tub of where wax from chemical guys to protect them, or hit me up if you wanna try some of mine first, im pretty close to you...
good call darren!
Purple Power will work also ......

@@Dieselnm101 great! I have some more questions lol, in stage 1 and 2 does it smoke? Also hows the drone? Lastly what year powerstroke r u running?

Wait.. you went from polished wheels to brushed buy using this wheel brush?
yes its like a red scotch-brite pad wheel, works nice!
Do they require same maintenance care? Being in the oilfield my AF are f*Ed. Stained from the mud. I got them ceramic coated, but it didn't do anything.
Biggest question i have is how do you have 24x14 summit cali offroad wheels? I called a dealer and they dont even make them
🤷♂️
Tell me pleaseee @topcorey
Yes they do? In polished and brushed from multiple places. Google is an amazing new thing..
Ceramic coat it to protect it?

How do you like the amp tires?
This guy never efin responds!
full honestly i love them, i know they are a cheaper mud tire but they ride great and have been wearing awesome. I havent even rotated them yet!
I know your right and im working on that ✌
ACanela85 he has responded! Lol. And that’s good to hear Corey!
Aye man it would look sick if you powder coat the small cutouts in the spokes with the rest polished
The truck is trash, but you did a good job finishing the wheels.
Why would you do that to a truck???
I guess I’m old school. This makes no sense to me. Looks like someone screwed up the finish and hit it with scotchbrite to cover it up. Buy chrome and wipe them off once a week. Easy.
Whyyy😭
Chrome way better
Solution: Don't buy bare aluminum forged wheels.
But they aren’t forged wheels
@@dirtymacmotorsports Well....bare aluminum.
They were chrome plated not just bare, forged wheels are polished bare aluminum, cast wheels like these either are powdercoated or chrome plated of some sort 👍🏻
Blake McGourty not all the time. These specific Cali Summits are a raw aluminum, no chrome plating. Just like forces you have to polish these to get that “chrome” finish.
only a ford driver would buy polished wheels and microscratch them intentionally
😂😂
A little bit of wd-40 helps hold your grit and gives a finer finish 🫶🏻
Wheels are to wide for the tires. ford lovers are jokes.
Says Miata driver. 😂 man fuck off with your childish bs.
