So i wanted some black wheels, and i really dig the spare rim on the 4runner, so i decided to use them as my rims. I have had this idea for a while, and I have seen it discussed here on yt, but never seen pics of it. So here are some pics of right before and right after, enjoy.

Before


After with chrome lugs






Painted chrome lugs






What you guys think?

YAY! lol i like them! glad you just convinced me completely.

Atomic

I was thinking of doing this as well, I just have to find two more spares. Looks great! Thanks for getting me motivated to find the ones i need!

jjrgr21

i did the same thing, can't get any cheaper

dirtoyboy

Looks awesome! I guess you dont need those wheels from me anymore?

BAZ

Looks great, I would have left those nasty white letters in but thats just my preference. Now its time for you to fix that rear sag and get some black lugs!

OSU4Runner

Looks good! I dig that front bumper and the hellas look great on it

crolison

nope, found them locally, but thanks for the quote and such.

Rear sag fix is in the mail, some ome 891's. The front support should be here today, toytec adjustables running 650lb rate. I painted the chrome lugs, and boy i love these rims.

That's too funny!

crolison, while I don't think this look suits every 3rd gen, it does not look too bad on yours. Gives it that utility look. Way to step out and be different!

Sorry, but it's not my cup of tea. Each to their own though.
Looks as if someone has stolen the hub caps/wheel trims.

The snorkel however is the dog's bits.

I think it looks pretty sick

I dig it, but I'm partial to black rims on trucks that see time in the dirt.




I guess if you have a street queen, bling is the thing...

Taro

I like it. Seen a few new FJ's running stock steelies as well. Makes it look more like a 4x4 and less like a street queen. Good job. But the white letters gotta go.

Kwel.

I see a Chrome rim and I want it Painted Black.

Looks grrreat

i'm not into the black rims so much.. depends the color of your truck... if thats your look its cool... i feel like the wheels kinda get lost ya know what i mean? stilll, good job looks nice

Oh and while you're at it, you might as well paint those wheel weights too. Just tape them off and spray them. You can see those from a mile away!

I guess I'm just anal ret. though. Last set of black rims I had, I had to paint my wheel weights. That silver just kept eye balling me every time I got close to the truck...

X-AWDriver

I like it on your truck but on mine it would look out of place. I wonder what the weight diff is vs the stock wheels?

crolison

Thanks for the comments

Planning on painting the weights when i have the wheels off next week to lift her.

Its not that much off, the steelies are a tad heavier, but not by much I would say.
