Anyone paint their wheels yet?

[mv213]

This may be an unusual situation...I have the 18” black TRD upgrade wheels on my ORP. The thing is I hate black wheels. Yeah, I know they are “in” now but I’m kinda old. I’m considering painting them with a 2K metallic charcoal/gunmetal wheel paint.

Has anybody done something like that with factory painted wheels? Would like to see pics!

wouldnt you have to strip the oem paint first before re-doing them?

be easier to sell them and buy aftermarket wheels.


but thats just my opinion.


edit: better yet, go buy some used tundra/taco/4runner/sequoia wheels from someone that replaced them with aftermarket wheels.

i have a spare set of 23 tundra grey platinum wheels i am thinking of slappin on the 25 4R to get rid of the gloss black one that came oem on the platinum.

here is the 23 tundra oem wheels i took off the wifes 23 tundra platinum and i put some fuel wheels on, toyota made all the new BoF vehicles wheels the same specs so they are interchangeable now except the offset is slightly different between models (but thats a minor issue)

My thought exactly

Or just get them all professionally powder coated whatever color you want.

Depending on your location, its a pretty cost effective solution. I know in my area, there are tons of powder coaters offering $100 per wheel deals.

THIS!!

A good shop will sand blast the old Finnish off and touch up any imperfections before powder coating them and 9 times out of 10 they will end up better than the factory finish.
