• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Considering my options for our '23 S model. The wheels are.... well... not my favorite. I mainly don't like the 2 color thing. I wish they were all black or all silver. (black preferred)

For those of you with aftermarket wheels, what do you do with your factory wheels after getting aftermarket wheels? Keep them? Sell them? Is there actually a market to sell them? If there is, I would consider this as it would help fund a new set of wheels.

Or I can hyperdip them. Never done this, but I'm pretty handy and capable, so it seems doable. My main concern is longevity. We live in Minneapolis and deal with a lot of snow and road salt in the winters not to mention huge swings in both temperature and humidity between seasons. Does hyperdip actually hold up for the long haul?

You could always keep and get winter tires for those rims and use them in the winter! (Then get aftermarket rims)
 
The hyperdip is by far the easiest way to get by. I'm not completely sold on this because I have never personally seen these up close to say its a great option. One concern is where the lug nuts touch the wheels and that they need to be free of this product. Also the center caps and the valve stems. And then the inside of the rim not being finished. I'm thinking its going to be a "looks ok from 10 feet" thing. As far selling, Ebay, facebook, craigslist? Your going to take a hit on these for sure, shipping is the killer. Taking the tires off and perhaps use them on your new wheels. Ship the rims in the boxes your replacements come it. Yea, I've done this a few times! The issue you have is that if you don't like your rims, others feel the same (see nightfall rims) . Replacements on Tirerack are a good place to try these on your vehicle. Good luck.

In MN, you're probably going to end up stripping and redoing your wheels every year.
