Powdercoating Wheels Black Poll

So my FJ Wheels have a little bit of corrosion on the inside. I was thinking about getting them Powdercoated Black with a Semi Gloss. The guys at the powercoating shop said around $250 for 5 Wheels.

Do you guys think I should do it? Here is my truck. It already has a black toolbox and a black roof rack. I think this would complete the look I'm going for.




Thanks guys!

 

It'll look great, but have you considered painting them yourself? I did mine and as long as you take your time they'll turn out awesome. A lot cheaper too

 

I did a little experiment on the paint. My dad had some old caps off his F150 and I took that and duplicolor painted it, but it turned out awful.

Did you try Rustoleum? I heard that Hammered Black is good.

Any problems with chipping?
Thanks!

 

those would look sick powder coated black

 

I think they would look good, I am just worried about Chipping. If I rattle can them, then touch up would be easy. But some guys on here have Powdercoated wheels (PandaJerk) and they look sick!

 

black wheels on siver tacos looks tight i think. if you rattle can it i would suggest doing it maybe on one wheel first to make sure you like how it turns out

 

Yeah good idea. Did you get new wheels? I thought you had stock wheels last time I saw a picture

 

yeah i just got them on friday, $99 each at discount tire. and tuesday im getting my 2.5 in bilstein lift

 

You will love the Bilsteins man. I got mine installed a month ago. Are you doing an AAL in the rear?

 

Not planning on it right now. but if i dont like the front being a little higher i might think about it. but i only got the front bilsteins i didnt get them for the rear yet

 

Yeah I got mine at 2.5" in the front and stock rear. But I do have all 4 shocks. To be honest, some days it looks level and some days it looks like a nice little front lean. I love the way it looks. Not too noticeable like some guys at my school-they have a damn 4 inch lift in the front and stock rear hahah

 

haha at my school all the cars and trucks are bone stock except for one other taco. i'll make sure i post pics on tuesday. they come in the mail monday

 

Yeah I meant guys with Z71 Silverados. Not too many Tacomas at my school.

Good luck with them! And nice wheels.


Back to powdercoating

 

I just painted my rims this weekend. I used the Rustoleum Hammered finish black and they turned out great. If you take your time in the prep work, it will look awesome. And it only cost $20.

 

I like them the way they are. They would look good on a silver truck.

 

Any pictures? Thanks!

 

I'm working on it...I only have my cell phone camera so it's hard to get good pics of it in the sunlight.

 

Thanks for the pictures. I bet if you painted your badges it would look even better!

 

That would look good powdercoated! Like a first gen brother to my truck!
