Question: What are you planning to cook on your wheels? There is
absolutely no benefit whatsoever to Teflon being on the wheels. In
fact, I doubt that there is much, if any, actually on the wheels. Do
you have any idea what it takes to actually put Teflon into a metal
material? It's rather hilarious. It also goes along with the 'teflon
wax'. In order to get Teflon to adhere to the surface of your car, or
wheel for that matter (gotta keep it on-topic), you would literally
melt the car, put it under extreme pressures (hundreds of PSi) and
keep it under that pressure during the slow cooling process.
According to Du Pont (inventor and patent holder) that is the only way
to get Teflon to adhere to any surface; IE A chemical bonding by which
the cooling metal surrounds and captures the teflon particles. In
otherwords, I doubt it's on the wheels and if it is, WHY?

Then again, after a brief glance at the wheel I'm trying to picture
any LX-470 (IE: Land Cruiser with a $35,000 badge change and a latte
machine in the service area) with these wheels and every time I try
I'm surprised to think that it would look pretty... well... hideous..

But to each their own.

Well, I apologize. I never read the charter. I greatly enjoy this
group, I used to own an XJ and am considering a Rubi, so please excuse
my lapse. And I will excuse your language and faulty opinion.
