Also don't forget those gold stripes.
I might but not sure, the paint is 9 years old. you might see the difference in color, im not sure

Painting the nuts will probably be a hassle. I dont know what kind of paint can hold on to chrome without peeling when I get the tires rotated

I had the same issues w/ my gunmetal wheels. I ended up buying some lock-type nuts that were black. They ended up matching nice and now I have locks on my wheels. Can't tell you what they are or who makes them but somebody may be able to chime in.

My Acura had gun metal wheels, which i had universal black nuts for. But on the Toyota wheel I need the special shank nut.

Look real nice once you paint that bumper too. It looks good now though!

Its actually really easy to paint the bumper, I was kinda not looking forward to it but once its off the truck you can really go at it.

I've got a question for those with 265/70/17 on 4Runners. Did you do any type of lift to fit these tires?

With stock springs- anything other than '99, you'll rub a little. Right now I have 99 springs and dont rub at all.
