    I noticed a pretty good vibration after I rotated my tires the other day. I decided to go by Firestone who did a great job mounting my new TRD Beadlocks last year (no paint damage) & have them re-balance my tires. In doing so they scuffed the heck out of the lug wells on my wheels. Is there any matte black touch up paint out there that will match the factory finish?

    Sharpie or a black paint pen?

    Go back and tell them to replace your wheel. If I took my truck somewhere and they scratched or scuffed something I would expect them to take care of it.

    Those lug nuts don't look to be the correct ones for the beadlocks. Try some semi flat black paint and buy the correct lug nuts to avoid future scuffs:)

    Thanks guys. I will look into the proper lug nuts. The tire center that mounted my beadlocks sold me the one's I'm using now.

    I recommend the trd spline lugs too91c2603b26a2102d5e65d6822f7e3f26_fb7ef541034dd86554ed335bd73e784845df2bd7.jpg
    Even took some 1" shrink tubing to cover the spline and lock tools for the tire guys.26c4a352e8a8ab81428c56cebd5f7183_eb1f11c9d569b59762e02c0fee13dfd6b46b473c.jpg

    Dang. I guess I'll never understand the OCD-ness of keeping wheels in pristine condition. I drive on too many gravel roads and change my own tires to care about scratches and dings.

    But in your situation I agree with those above. Use a sharpie and find the right lugs.

    Damn good idea, I'll be doing that today with my spline tool.
