    I just stumbled on a single bronze TRD faux beadlock wheel that I bought to be used as a spare. Only problem is my TRD beadlocks are graphite, not bronze. Unlikely, but figured I'd see if anyone had a SINGLE graphite wheel they'd be willing to trade for my bronze wheel.

    Condition is excellent. There's only damage to the rock ring, but you can keep yours and I'll keep this damaged one if you like.

    Located in Lakewood, CA, 90712.

    Might be better off painting it and calling it a day

    Thanks, but I'm aware of what my options are.
    1) I could paint this myself for nearly no $ but that would just devalue the wheel since it's been repainted. And, it would never match the original graphite color.
    2) I could pay to have it refinished and matched to the graphite color but this would likely cost $100-200. At that point I would have spent about what a brand new wheel would have cost and I didn't think it was worth spending that $ for a spare. Plus, I would then have a damaged rock ring and no center cap - so again, not a wise financial choice vs just buying new - which I don't want to do.

    I realize this is a long shot. I don't have to trade it. I'd be happy with it being a mixmatched color spare. But why not throw a hail mary and see if someone might possibly have one to trade?
