    That looks good! Do you have any shots of the whole truck? I was going to do black but now am considering gunmetal but wasn't sure how it would look without the ring. I have regular mt's and my truck is also silver which is why I ask for a pic.

    only a crappy cell phone pic...i like it a lot better than black!

    i was worried it would come it looking to light, like a primer. But i am glad it came out dark.

    Man that does look good.. I'm torn between black and gunmetal for when I paint or powdercoat. Did you use clear on yours?

    I think I will go gunmetal first and see if i like it. If not I can alway paint black over it. I am not sure if I want to paint yet though since they are still somewhat shiny haha. Can never go back...

    I'm undecided between the black and gunmetal also. So far i'm considering natural aluminum beadlocks and painting my M/T classic locks black, my taco is silver. The seller of my wheels painted them white, but he never installed them.

    Ha will do! But it will probably be a while. I want to get my lift on before I change the color scheme. Want to see what it will look like silver/chrome/polished lifted before I change to silver/black or silver/black/gunmetal. And I'm really jealous of your mt locks. I had those on my last tacoma and loved them! Only reason I got regular mt's this time is cause I bought them with tires and then sold the tires for more than I payed for the wheels and tires together! :D

    No clear coat, they are going to get beat up, so it is easier to just be able to touch them up and not worry about the clear.

    Looks good. I considered the wheel paint, but as I mentioned previously, I had a bad experience with it.

    Makes sense. I don't plan on beating mine for a while so I will use clear
