Custom Finishes

SOLID TONE COLORS

Forgelite Wheels offer a vast collection of custom finishes. Solid tone color finishes are suitable for all applications. All colors are available with a gloss or satin clear coat to further enhance the look. Solid tone colors are included in the wheel base price.

TRANSLUCENT COLORS

Translucent finish is a premium finish that can be applied on a polished aluminum base and become a candy/polished finish. It can be combined with our hand-applied brushed finish to add fine brushed texture to the aluminum surface and create a stunning premium custom finish. These finishes are available at an additional cost.

COLOR TEXT FILL COLORS

Features such as centre cap logo, rim logo, groves, and custom engravings can be filled in with a solid color to add accent colors onto the wheel. More custom colors are available upon request.

Brushed Finish

A brushed finish is a hand-applied finish that adds a brushed texture to the substrate of the wheel finish before applying a transparent clear coat. The brushing process is very labor intensive. Depending on the wheel design, it can take up to 8 hours per wheel to apply this finish. But the result is the most premium finish that you will ever see.

Polished or Transparent Finish

A polished finish uses a combination of machine and hand polishing to remove any machine marks and surface texture on the aluminum to create a bright and mirror-reflection surface. A satin or gloss clear coat is then applied to preserve the shiny surface. This process can take up to 8 hours per wheel to complete.

A transparent finish is created by applying a colored transparent clear coat over the polished aluminum base. It gives the final result a mirror-like but colored finish surface. Depending on the selection of the transparent top coat, the final result can be either satin or glossy.
