New England B.S. Thread

Your welcome and thank you. I did my other 4 wheel set before and used 200 grit and 400 grit but they always seemed to chip the paint so easily. That's why I wanted something better. But yes I'll do those steps and see what happens. I hope they come out good lol.

Thanks dude. I'll have to get that and see how well it does. Taking time off of the sanding process is always good lol

 

Be very careful with a media blaster

 

That's true they can. I use the steel brush on my steel Tacoma wheels. It deff took some time off of the sanding but was still long. Even though I thought I sanded the wheels good, they still chipped alittle. Idk

 

I have a set of 4 17" TRD Sport Wheels w/center caps No lug nuts.
FOR SALE...Not perfect but in good condition. I would like $275 and I'm in N.H. for pick up.
Wanted to post them here for you tacoma guys. You too Alex, LOL.
Wheeled with a few of you guys last week in Henniker. I don't have a picture of them yet but if you look in the classifieds here, ther are some pics of TRD Sport wheels.

 

I would take your time over the winter to prep and paint the wheels for better weather (no salt and sand). When painting go light coats dont put it all on at once

 

And look for better quality paint. Most rattle can paint is soft and will chip off easily. Look for an enamel or even better, automotive paint. It'll cure to a harder finish and provide greater resistance to chipping.

 

Lol, Tacoma TRD sport wheels? Those irk me! Too wide and blah for me. My dad had them on his truck and I wasn't a fan for the 8 years he owned it

 

To each his own ALEX, pass the word to the Taco guys. somone might want a cheap set of wheels for wheeling or winter use.

 

That's why I said they irk me, not everyone who's ever seen those wheels starts bleeding profusely from their eyes.... Lol

Post it in the classifieds, otherwise, this is pretty much all the NH/MA/RI guys who'd want those wheels for local pickup

 

The TRD sport rims should fit a '97 4Runner right? I have a guy at work interested in buying them.

 

I'm looking for some 5 spoke TRD or tundra wheels. Anyone

 

I don't think you have enough nuts for our wheels

 

haha

 

Where have you been Tim?

 

Are you going to the fall crawl ? Thought I saw your name on the list .

 

making fun of the 4 banger again i have friggen gross ass chrome hub caps on steelies. I dont like them off or on they need to GTF Off my truck

 

Just wrapped up a pretty solid afternoon.

Finished wiring up my mirror defrost mod and cleaned up all my wiring for my power rear slider and nav system.

While I had the dash torn apart, I figured, what the F, might as well pull the TPMS led. So I pulled apart the spedo and used a soldering iron to pull the TPMS led. Pretty pumped

 

So I guess the kid emailed me at the last second is said someone offered him 600 for the set of wheels an tires. Freaking a . I thought I had a good deal planned. Grrrr

 

That sucks . Did you see the wheels above for 275 .
