Is there an idea you have in mind, something you've seen, or just asking blind?

The only one I really know that is making a teflon coated wheel is American Racing, their ATX line. But it's mostly for heavy pickups.

I am guessing that you mean a teflon coating not made of teflon right?Would this be to serve a purpose or for looks? If for looks, have seen a lot of different type finish options in the spray paint area at local auto parts stores and at the big box home stores

The AR rims are popular with the rockcrawlers and desert community, theyre awesome rims but if you just want some that are easy to clean, just have some powdercoated and get some teflon spray and shoot it on there, or just use a product that puts an easy to clean coating on the rims.
