The wheels came out better than I ever expected. The color is black chrome with a coat of clear. I am extremely anxious to get these on the truck, but i'm still saving for a lift and some 285's. Here's a couple pics of one of the wheels, let me know what you think.











*edit* I had a request for pics of the wheels propped next to the truck. So here they are.

 

Those wheels look really nice! Where did you buy those LC wheels?

 

Couple junk yards Found them on car-part.com

 

Those are HOT looking!

 

I was wondering, what are you going to do for your center caps to match? I am getting my tundra wheels pc'd a teflon style black. I was thinking about a matte black finish for the centers...

 

Those look amazing, how much did that cost? Also, as far as the center caps, a good powdercoater can do some plastics...

 

Man those look HOT! I think they look better than new.

 

nice looking wheels

the junkyard /salvage yard here just changed their policy and will not sell alloy wheels due to some crap about liability and someone could sue them if they sold a cracked one.
made me mad as hell they had this huge pile of rims just calling me to rummage through and I could not =(

 

Not a good powder coater....a powder coater that has money to spend because thats a process that requires some good machinery!

 

Damn those look hot im still waiting to hear if those will fit on my 2002 Tacoma.

 

The good thing about that powder is the thicker you lay it on, the darker it gets.

 

True, but they have to be able to use the machinery also

 

Yeah , they look great!!! Good job!

 

looks great cant wait to see them on the truck

 

I think i'm going to use the same duplicolor graphite paint i used for my satoshi grille. It will be close enough. If not, i may just send them to my buddy who works at a body shop, he'll spray them for a six pack.

 

So I'm wondering, how much does that cost?Assuming your a normal person that has to pay full price? I had a guy give me a quote for Chrome Plating some stock wheels and it was $600 bucks. Just wondering, that looks sweet. Very good job!

 

Yes I'm curious to see the price too..

 

I was a first time customer, so i got no special treatment (ie. savings/deals) and it wasn't that bad. He did it for 65$ a wheel, and thats two coats of powder. He'll definately be getting some more business from me in the future when i get some sliders and skid plates. Callmej75, do you think what i paid is reasonable?

 

Yeh its usually what everyone charges...as long as he pretreated it then you should be fine man! That color looks like a smoke color I have now...good color though! You get the best of both worlds. The black chrome is a transparent really. When I quote guys $180 for all 4, blasted, pretreated, coated, and cleared they almost gasp for air! But its worth it in the long run man..

 

What exactly do you need? I always wondered how you would cure the paint on plastic. Do you use special low heat powder or something?
