It took me ALL day but I just finished up my rims!

I'm not sure how good of a job I did with the application so I'm curious how long these will last, but unless you were standing a foot in front of the wheel you would never know that it's not just a black rim.

For $35, this is a super legit option and definitely saved me from buying new rims right after I bought the truck.

Quality product here, thank you!

Just a reminder in the summer months do not Apply in direct sunlightThe especially in the hotter southern states the vinyl will stretch must be applied cooler times a day not in direct sunlight

I just want to thank @anonymouscuban for a great write up and he did an INSANE job on his application. If you take tour time and use a heat gun the results are GREAT!!

I ordered the vinyl last week and it arrived yesterday. After detailing my truck today, I set out to wrapping them with the vinyl pieces I got from @Pikestaco. Each wheel took me roughly 30 minutes to wrap. This is how it turned out.

Here is one set of the vinyl cut outs. An extra one was included in case I screwed up.

Here is the wheel close up after placing the vinyl. I actually like the two tone of the black vinyl against the gunmetal. The difference is very subtle and almost looks more like shadows and highlights. Kind of cool.

Here are the steps I used to apply the vinyl in case anyone is interested.

Clean the wheels really well. Key is to get all grease and oil off them. I cleaned them during the detail and then gave them another rub down with isopropyl alcohol.

Next, peel the back from the vinyl and line up the two inside top corners of the V-shape on the wheel. Lightly stick each of the corners.

Allow the vinyl to lay itself onto the wheel. Then take the side of your finger and work it from top to bottom. If you get any bubbles, just pull it up and lay it down.

Once it's bubble free, use your finger to stick it down but leave the edges where it overlaps the curves in the wheel.

Now take a heat gun on low and apply heat across the vinyl. The vinyl will "shrink" over the edges. Now use a finger to stick it down, working from the inside out.

You will have to stretch the vinyl a bit to make sure it overlaps the next one. Again, heating the vinyl will allow it to stretch. Just don't overdo it.

Again, it took my about 30 minutes for each wheel which includes cleaning. Pretty simple just gotta take your time. It looks pretty damn good and the vinyl should hold up pretty well. Makes the stock wheels look a bit more aggressive. And it will pacify me for a few months until I get my new wheels.

Quick question and I apologize if this has been asked / is obvious — will a hair dryer work for this or does it for sure need to be a heat gun?

It doesn’t need either. Some people use the heat gun for a better adhesion but you don’t have to.

Super happy with this vinyl set! It was admittedly a pain in the ass at the start but once you get the hang of it, the process moves along much faster. I also popped out the Toyota emblems and installed TRD decals.

Took me 8 months to get around to applying them, but pretty happy with the results.

Looks great; I have the same truck and will give it a shot next spring when it warms up!

Has anyone put these on and then had new tires mounted? Just wonder how it will hold up. Anyone?
