"Best" way to achieve black rims?

I'm assuming you have to remove the TPMS before having the wheels powder coated, any fittment issues after the coating was applied? Any words of advice on how to remove the TPMS?

 

Yeah the TPMS just pops right off the rim and it fit perfectly after powder coating... only issue was the powder coating on the inside of the wheel where it mounts over the hub. OE is already a tight fit, and adding PC to it made it to small to fit over the hub, I had to sand it down a bit but it worked and is not noticeable.

 

I needed no work. TPMS valves popped right in.

 

Wish I could find a place in Pasadena (CA) that cheap. Thats really a good deal.

 

Painted wheels are just that. Painted black , everyone knows you can't afford rims. Your not fooling anyone. Save money and do it right. No offense. IMO

 

Seriously? Alot of people (myself included) like the look of the stock TRD off road rims, just wish they were a different color. I think the black powdercoated rims in this thread look way better than most of the aftermarket black rims people put on these trucks. I like the simplicity of the stock rims and think the flashier aftermarket rims like moto metals just look stupid, it's a truck.

 

x2 - couldnt have said it better

 

Just because its cheap does not mean a good job.

Who ever you take them to have them tell you about how they do it.

They should media blast them first then primer them and then the powder coat and bake.
