Triple Chrome

A plating process, not a paint. Three sequential plating layers (typically copper, nickel, and chrome) for a bright, mirror-like metallic finish with real depth and durability.

Polished

A mechanical finish, not a coating. The bare aluminum is mechanically polished to a bright, reflective shine — no plating or paint involved.

Milled Face

A two-tone finish. The face is painted (typically gloss black), then the outer lip and select spoke edges are machined back down to bare aluminum and polished bright — combining a painted color with a polished accent on one wheel.
