Pics of Silver Taco's with black OEM Sport rims?

I'm considering having mine painted or powder coated. Does anyone know of any pics on how this would look?

 

I wanna see this too!! I have been debating painting mine. There is a write up somewhere on here, fairly recent too, of some painted but not on a silver model.

 

Yes, I want to see this also. I have a silver DC Long Bed. I blacked my badges, have a black step bars, and installed blacked out tail lights. I have been thinking of painting my rims black, so would love to see some pictures of it here.

 

x2.... mine have all corroded and I either need to buy new wheels or do something with the ones I already have.

 

i was at Kings toyota and saw a used taco sport on their lot, looked at the wheels, they were all bubbled up and starting to rust. i could tell they painted over it to try to hide it too.

 

there ya go

 

Hey mntbiker2008, those are tan colored rims, not black . It is a good look.

 

idk if your screwin with me or not. lol im on my meds right now so things are just a little distorted. lol

 

Kings Toyota does stuff like that, I would never buy anything used from there lot. The bubbling on the rims is a pretty common thing w/ the TRD sport wheels.

 

Not the best pic.. I left the center caps silver and went the powercoat route. There is a pretty good thread on here somewere that has lots of info with different things guys did.

 

Mine arent totally black, just another way to go.

 

O man, navyrt, I like what you got there! That looks good man. I will probably do something like that.

 

This is pretty close to what I did to my wheels, except mine are the sport wheels. I'll have to take a picture and post after work.

 

boom

 

YumaTRD, did you blacken the inside of the scoop? The silver with black emblems and rims looks great. Guess I am painting my rims this weekend.

 

The scoop insert is removable. I just pulled it out and painted it just to add to the black and silver theme

 

I like the wheels, and I like the idea of painting the scoop insert too.

Now the question becomes: paint or powdercoat. Isn't powdercoating more durable?

 

powdercoating is a better process but its much more expensive and time consuming. you will have to dismount the rims, powdercoat, mount the rims again and then balance them again. you might be rimless for a day or two

 

here are a couple for you....one with the older tires.

 

I'm sure there are tons of thread out there on how to do this. Quick question though: do I need to take the tires off, or is there some way to get this done with taping them off - or don't you care since it's black paint on black tires?
