Those cleaned up real nice, paint looks good. A lot of people go for white lettering on a white rim, i'm glad you decided not to do that.

They are either 15" or 16". I think 16" was an option until, like you said, maybe '01 or so. My roommate's '96 Taco has 15"..so you're good there

The wheels look good too, Scooby. GJ...Gj...

i used paint thinner to take off overspray when i painted my sr5 rims a couple of days ago. i bet it wasnt a good idea but w/e the tires are plenty thick. rims look like new now, they look good until ur like a foot away didn't bother to sand clearcoat off. ill post a pic tommorow

Im thinking a VERY watered down solution of soapy water and paint thinner might do the trick, so thanks gary!!

Thanks dude, I appreciate it, This isnt the best paint job in the world, But I love how they look and thats all that matters. On another note. I got the clear coat on the second 2 done, they're dry and they look great !! The school of toads next door is raving about them.....
