Magnetic Gray Rims... Yay or Nay?

Magnetic Gray Rims look good on a Magnetic Gray 2011 TRD Sport DC SB?

I am usually not a fan of colored rims but perhaps dark gray would look OK. I may have to wip out the ol' photoshop...

PS. would the spraypaint that is used for the bumper paint work on stock rims?

HaHA. You just wanted to show off your unobtainium TRD Anthracite wheels. Your truck looks awesome with those wheels on it. But you sir are a jackass for reminding me that I can't find those wheels anywhere.

 

i think black looks great on these trucks.. imo

 

I did something a little different. Didn't want to buy new rims, didn't want to deal with touching up paint on the entire rim, but I wanted to address the "blah" of the stock rims. So I just painted the center caps around the Toyota emblem with the magnetic grey touchup paint (pick up for $9 at dealer). I was actually very surprised how well it came out, and how well it accented the truck.

 

Ahh those TRD Anthracite wheels look goood...

but honestly, I don't think the TRD Sport wheels look good painted...my $0.02

 

painted only inside part

 

That's cool... any further shots to see the whole look? It's a good idea

I got the sport rims too and debating keeping them for new tires, I want the anthracite too dammit! But don't like anything aftermarket enough for the $$, so painting was my next option too (mag owner)

IM worried of the paint chipping/scratching off when offroad (noticed few scratches on my rims already from this) so I don't wanna look all ghetto later with rims that look scratched/painted bad lol. But the inside is a good medium. Powdercoating? Hm...

 

Heres some pictures but dont have any closer views. Used duplicolor wheel paint and clear coated with shop line clear.
held up great but i dont go off roading.Just picked up some 2010 4runner rims and debatting if i want to do the same thing .masking off is a pain in the ass but to me was worth it.

 

heres the 4runner rims

 

Looking good Hemi !!!!!!!!

I took the Toyota Emblem off my grille too.....lol
