Painted Wheels
So I was getting bored this weekend and decided to change up the color of my wheels, What do you think?

Too subtle?

I find it a bit much but getting sick of another truck w/ black rims.

They looked better black. The green is all wrong.

the green is a little too tuner-ish for me...but hey it's all good

i'm personally thinking about going with Gunmetal Grey?

like the TRD wheels....

even thought about layin down primer, then a shot of "chrome" paint..then some Gun metal grey..to give it a shine! (if possible)

Yeah I don't quite like the 4runner green and green rims. I didn't paint all four just doing tests w/ colors. Maybe bronze would work better

Maybe even a graphite grey? It's a little darker than gunmetal.

OK, the first one was a little jarring but I totally dig the second variation. Nice!
