Well if you are not on a budget, the obvious choice is to take them to a powdercoat shop and have them sand blast them and powdercoat them. I believe its ~$65 per wheel at the place around my house.

The gun-metal grey would be sweet. I think the black look has been worn out. I went back to alloy look with mine.

I didn't want to pay the $$ so I wire wheeled mine (They looked like yours), and just spray canned them with Dupli-color aluminum. They look a little "Mexi" style but not that bad. I actually really like the look.

NOT TO HIJACK but here's a photo

They look salvagable, it might be worth your time since they're such desirable wheels.

How much did you boughten them for?

Got the tires and rims separated tonight and got the rims cleaned up a bit. They look better but will need to be sandblasted/sanded.

Heh, we have like the same trucks.

I'd go for a dark gunmetal gray powder coat.

Which front bumper do you have?

Well, I ended just deciding to sell the LC rims to one of the members of the Wasatch Cruisers and made my money back on them - minus the gas money.












but the story doesn't end here.

Well, I ended up selling the LC rims I picked up and was able to make my money back on them minus the gas money. One of the deciding factors to this was that I came across antoher set of rims in better condition and which I like more the LC rims. Plus, I like the color.

So without further adeu here are the new rims I picked up tonight and I couldn't be happier

I like these. What rims are they?

I really want a set of the 17" Tundra split spokes in gunmetal. My buddy has a TRD Tundra and I tell him to be careful cause he's going to come out to his car on blocks.

I've never been a big fan of split 3-spoke wheels. Which is another reason why I got these.


I'd be interested to see what those FJ rims look like as well on a 3rd gen.

I know this is a little late but I have a set of 4th gen runner rims (2007) of the brushed aluminum variety for sale. They still have the factory Michelins with about 50% tread left.

Here you all go. Looked up the part number off the rims and they are the 16x7 rims off a 05 Toyota Tacoma. I'm very happy with end result.

So far I haven't noticed any rubbing. I'll have to see how they do when I get off-road and under flex.
