Painted Wheels

Just paint them, gives your truck a whole new dimension. Momma talked shit to me when I first started my little project but even she admits that it looks bad ass. I sprayed mine with Flat Black and went back over it with a coat of clear matte sealer. turned out good. (I know i don't have pics, just too lazy to do it. plus if you seen one set of painted rims you've seen them all)

 

JUST DO IT!!!

 

Doing mine when the weather breaks.

 

really want to do mine this spring!

 

wheels look great painted black. i painted my stock aluminum wheels this week.......rustoluem hammered black. they look great to me. pics to come when it aint raining.

i decided to do this cause my steelies are heavy as hell, and i wanted to use them for my mud tires..........................and i kinda got the black out theme going on my truck too.

 

i wanna paint mine black. I got the trd sport rims on mine and i think it would look good.

 

I want to paint mine, but I is getting them powder coated a better idea?

 

This is what im thinking too. Has anyones seen 01 wheels painted or powder coated black?

 

i'll post pics of mine later....after it quits raining. i painted mine rustoleum hammered black. mine is an 04.....wheels may be the same.

 

Alright thanks! Cant wait to see them!

 

I've always thought black wheels look a lot nicer. I have a white tacoma and seen some trucks (not tacomas) with white wheels and thought they look pretty slick.

What do you guys think about white wheels (factory) on a white Tacoma?

AND how do you paint them? What paint do you use?

 

I love mine. Do it it's the best and cheapest "mod" you can do!

how's the painted wheels holding up? (to anyone out there, hows the paint doing? any chipping, peeling, bubbling?)

 

powdercoat em its waaaay more durable that spraypaint

 

With proper prep-No chipping, peeling, bubbles, or other defects and I've had mine 7 months. Minor rash from some trail riding/wheeling

And WAAAY more expensive to do the first time...and god forbid you chip it...WAAAY more expensive to fix. I'd rather have to rattle can touch up a rim after a wheeling then get it re-PC'd....Just MHO tho.

 

It's holding up pretty good. I have had to do a couple of touch ups but I mean I should have done more coats of clear coat but I wanted the "flat black" look so I only put one coat on it. Mistake but I love the look of it. I pressure wash the rims regularly and that's probably why they are chipping. I repainted them today for the first time actually and the biggest area needed to be touched up was maybe 1/8th inch so it hold up good if you get the right paint.

 

Did mine last week and I'm loving them so far. Left the center caps off too, I like the look.

 

thanks for the update! what kind of paint did you use?

 

damn........been busy as hell and forgot to post pics of my painted wheels.................
