    Ive been looking for a good deal on wheels for a while now and found these 18's for 200 bucks. i went, picked em up knowing they were chrome. i had all intentions on blasting and powdercoating them black, but when i picked them up they were in perfect condition. So i figured id run them chrome to see what i thought. gotta be honest i dont hate it at all. Ive worked hard to rid my truck of all chrome (i even bought black lug nuts for these wheels) tires are 275-65-18's.i love the stance it gives my truck so here it is, leave em chrome, or go black...

    I voted black, but I kind of like the chrome as well. I would do something different with the TOYOTA emblem in the grill. Make it white or something. It's pretty unique, but it just blends in so much. JMO

    Leave them as is and keep looking for some black ones you really like (if that is the look you want). Then, sell this setup on Craigslist for 3 or 400 to pay for the new set. I don't think it would be worth the extra cost to powdercoat these ones.

    Have fun making your final decision!

    As much as I hate chrome those actually look pretty good. I say leave them chrome until they start pitting and rusting then have them sand blasted and painted. :)
