    Honestly I don't know if I were to do it myself. I would have gotten it professionally done and Probably the route I would do today if I were to repaint these wheels.

    Not being cleaned in a month

    When I actually detail it and add on aerospace 303 or chemical guys ecosmart waterless wash and tire shine.

    No tire shine, detailed wheels

    I'm weird, I have 3 different looks depending on my mood when I'm detailing the truck. I don't have pics of watermarks it makes, but they're like blemishes almost like oil spots. You can tell when your close to the wheel and they just look dirty especially if the water dries on the wheel after being washed!! but far away you can't see it. If your OCD like @BVita and I these wheels might piss you off. I learned to live with it cuz I'm the only one who will ever notice.

    I was planning to buy them from my dealership. The link in my 3rd post is to a Dallas dealership. They appear kinda glossy.
    That said, on EBay there are a bunch of “TRD Style” in gloss black, one that is gloss does not say “style”, it specifically says gloss black OEM.

    Hmm gloss black for the first week lol. Then Matte black when they get dirty and see sun haha. What happens when there is no clear coat. Sounds bad but actually like the look of the Matte black.

    I bought a spare wheel about 6monhs ago and looked really good new...now they look like my other wheels lol

    The image on your 3rd post is broken.

    I don’t mind the matte at all either. I think the hard edges of the wheel match the truck well.

    Do you happen to have any straight on pics to show the stance? I’d like to be even with the fenders.

    That is a beautiful truck sir. Wonder if a 275/285 would get me even with the fender or if the rim with/offset will keep me short.

    Anyone have experience with the Ebay knockoffs? I've tried to get these from a dealer and they wont sell to me unless it was to replace originals.

    Or maybe know where i can get them OEM for a reasonable price.

    I bought 16" KO2s for my stock off road wheels but really like the blacked out look. I was trying to avoid having to buy new tires if i go with the 17" sema wheels so these seem to be the next best option.
