    Sorry, I ordered the centers and sent one in with the wheels and had them match as best they could. Not perfect but very close, too close to really tell unless you know what you are looking for. They really make my truck!

    Sounds good. Are the 2010 silver FJ TRDs the same BS as the anthracite ones you have? The site i found them on says 4.75 not 4.5. Also, these wheels fit the tacoma without a special mounting kit or something like that, correct?

    They should all be 4.5, sounds like a typo.

    Took the factory trail teams center caps in and had them match the matte black as well as they could. The black isn't all the way matte but good enough for me.

    I posted a pic of my rims on the previous page. The powdercoating shops I went to only had two types of smooth black powdercoatings, gloss and flat/matte black. As the picture shows, the color isn't exactly the same but its not that noticeable (center cap is black plastic).

    I thought about painting the center cap but as you will probably find, they look pretty good. The shop I used called their flat black finish "lava black." Hopes this helps.

    Noticed the first chip in the powdercoat... makes me weak.

    If they are the same part number, you should be fine. I picked up my set during Aug/Sept 2010:

    You may want the powdecoaters to tape the center bore and lug nut holes

    Lug nuts are included with the new wheels. I did order the fj wheel locks.

    No kit required if you have the tpms for the tacoma alloy wheels, they fit just fine in the fjs.

    i recently sent mine in to have them powder coated along with the center caps...the guy told me the red off the trd on the center cap would be gone and i was wondering what i could use to fill the red back in....could i use nail polish??? or maybe red touch up paint?.
