Nice Truck, looks like you got a good one

I'm with ya on the wheels

 

Nice truck congrats, mine is pink behind the fan as well.

 

The undercarriage looks brand new, nice truck.

 

Am I reading this right? That truck looks like a time capsule.

 

Your wheels are alloys, when you say “remove these covers” by the means of change its apparent, then yes; or they might have to be replaced otherwise.
Congratulations on your new ride!

 

Looks identical to the one I just bought.
Just had my hood and roof painted.
Nice truck!

 

Yea, forgot to add price on original post. Purchase Price has been added.

Are you sure? Ill admit, this is my first Tacoma so I am not an expert on wheel options for all the sub models but these look like plastic covers.

 

I Agree those are cheap plastic covers.

 

These wheels are off a limited model. 20" chromes. Unfortunately, that is NOT a removable wheel cover.

 

Whoops, my mistake. 18" chromes. Still not a cover, they're alloys. A lot of the younger guys run them here in the south with some MTs/Grapps.

 

Just confirmed. They are covers. They are glued on. Here is the wheel with the cover off. So much better looking but hard to get off. Probably try to sell/trade. Bummer.

 

Well yeah, technically i guess the chrome layer is a "cover" but it is not supposed to be removed. It CAN be, but yeah you're left with that. Just sell/trade them.

 

Read what I posted ‘when you say “remove these covers” by the means of change its apparent, then yes’. But the rims are alloys!

Start fixing some small things right away. The emblem, which was originally chrome had been painted flat black. Thanks to rock chips, you could see the chrome under neath. So I stripped it down, primed and repainted it flat black.

If you ever need to strip paint off plastic this shit is amazing. Its also cheap. Dollar store.


fresh coat of flat.
