    When you take the center cap off, you can pop the Toyota logo from the back side. It can be left chrome, or any color you wish.

    I dipped my pro comp wheel caps because they were getting terrible looking. The plastidip looks much better and havent had any issues.

    you could but any time you rotate the tires you will have to redip them. If you buy the black ones you don't have to redip as long as you are careful when removing them.

    Why would you need to redip? You just do a good job Spraying them, turn when dry.

    if you dipped you would know. no matter how well you dip when you tighten the lug nuts to spec you will pull the dip.

    I got a set in black initially then decided I liked the gray better.

    I spent $700.00 for the rims and $1050.00 for tires. It's just money...well spent. :D

    I plastidiped the wheels on my old jeep and they were great for three years until i traded it in on my tacoma. I just occasionally used regular old car wash soap on them and tire cleaner/ shine and they were great. They held up great over the years. I will dip the wheels on my tacoma once I get new tires.

    Those SEMA wheels are sweet... but i don;t think they are worth $700 more over my sport wheels. Those of us thinking of plastidiping wheels typically have other hobbies or responsibilities to think about when budgeting our mods.

    oOoShadowoOo: You made the right call, the grey looks awesome on the blue truck!

    I had plastidip on my wheels for nearly a year. then i changed my tire shine and when the tire shine touched it, it melted the plastidip off the wheel and looked like complete shit
