    yes, if you order tires on one order and wheels on another order, they will mount them. You just need to call to tell them to pair them together. then pay for valve stems while you're on the phone and lugs too (if you're buying from them).

    I have done this yes.

    Just a dab of acetone and don't rub hard. The 8 disappears. It worked for three out of four. I had to order a new one to get four that matched.IMG_5471.jpgIMG_5474.jpg

    I think mine look great.

    Drive through the dealer lot Sunday and stopped to chat with some folks looking at Tacomas and they wanted the same setup.

    When you use the acetone, the white 8 either comes off right away and it's good or the white 8 leaves a shadow.

    One of mine left a shadow and I had to order new ones from Discount Tire Direct. It doesn't take much acetone. Too much and you will wipe the gray paint off. I even tinkered with painting a few of them a darker gray. The sky is the limit and if you just want a simple TRD or the Toyota logo @rrentrop can do that for you as well.

    I like this wheel just a tad more than the TRD wheel because it comes 8" wide.

    Make sure you use the proper lug nuts for these wheels, if not, you'll on grab a few threads on the studs

    WRONG
