    hey yall.

    Has any one ever painted there stock TRD sport wheels.. gun metal? I have a silver extended cab, and I can't decide to paint them gloss black or gun metal. So if any one could show some pictures of silver with the gun metal it would help alot!!

    It is not a sport wheel, but pretty dead on match to the gun metal/ anthracite color with a silver truck.

    I do need to do something about the chrome bumper. Its a toss up between, black, gun metal like the wheels or color matched to the truck.

    on your truck, i say color match the bumper. gun metal would be so close that it would look like a paint shop mismatched your color
