Webshot's doesn't allow posting of pics from their site, so I can't see them.
But if you look in our Tech section, you will see an artilce on painting the stock center caps, and they turned out great.

centre caps

Search "4Runner" on Ebay Motors.

I saw a whole slew of them there last night for sale.

FYI,

wheel centers

If I can find them again. I have troubles sifting through all the stuff on Ebay. I just kind of stumbled across them last night.


If I can find some, I'll post them.

I'm pretty sure I searched 4Runner though.

I repainted mine. I used high temp silver paint for the outside about 6 coats, and painted the toyota emblem red. I then used some Krylon clearcoat (10 coats). it looks really good. I will try to snap some pics later today.

I would just sand the caps with a FINE-GRIT paper, then just paint it. A lot cheaper than buying new ones that will do the same thing again.
