Check out my Murdrrrrrrrred out G-ride homies

Finally got around to painting my wheels black. I figure this will look HOT when I pull up on the mall curb (as long as the paint dont scratch off)

Please feel free to comment....no negative comments though...I ONLY want people to tell me how cool or baller it is. Thanks in advance!

nice try, but imo a vehicle's owner should only murder-out their ride if they can do it and make it look good...i.e. they actually own a black vehicle...i'll give it an A for effort though...

I think it looks good with green exterior, like a military vehicle. Black or gunmetal is the only way to go.

I'm figuring at least 10-12 HP....

After I put the TRD sticker it should add another 5....

HIDs and neons maybe another 5?

It's a real powerhouse! One time I crawled a 6 inch curb in the old navy parking lot in two-wheel drive! true story....... btw, cargo pants and capris are on sale this week

Once I get black lug nuts I'm gonna re-name it "Truckzilla, Parking Lot Destroyer"!


Thanks for the input!

I normally wouldn't say such things but to actually ASK in your post "no negative comments" ohh boy here it comes!. So here you go:

I think the idea has merit, but your color of choice would have been a better fit for your truck, if you are going to use paint or considered having it powder coated, to go with a color more closely resembling your stock vehcile color. With the truck you show it appears you are going for more of a Limited, OEM look. Using a dark green would in turn present a much nicer, cleaner looking vehicle fitting more closely with the Limited theme you are currently sporting.

If you are going for a more military look, getting away from the OEM Limited theme, then I think you may be on the right track. If this is the goal, try using a heavier flat or texture paint to lessen the look of the OEM. The Limited trim and siding detracts from the military look you seem to be attempting. Overall I think the wheels had potential until you painted them in the current configuration.

Aye, this thread was really a joke for most people but I guess it went over your head ....sorry you took it seriously!


Why would you call me Mr. Negativity after all the advice and tech I offer to the board? Just because I voice my opinion and don't believe in hand-holding doesnt make me a negative person...
