    I'm not going to be super helpful, but I was in the same situation as you with my first Tacoma.

    Was an SR5 and the wheels were painted. So I just looked at all of the Toyota touch up paints and got lucky that one of the silvers was close enough. But I asked on forums and Reddit and got no answers. It doesn't seem like you can get the wheel paint and its just trial and error.

    Those are sport wheels right? Painted or "machined"? My offroad wheels have like the machined aluminum that would be impossible to paint.

    Stock wheels and suspension. Random "utilitarian" mods featured on this great forum.
    Even if they look machined or unpainted, most of them have a layer of clear coat. You could scuff up at least the silver looking parts and hit them with wheel gloss clear. I'm pretty sure you can get just the plastic covers so no need to touch up that. I've never repaired scuffed wheels because I'm not worried about rust there.

    Edit: example of the caps. You can probably get them cheaper off of eBay https://www.hubcaphaven.com/p/24087...bsuOSyTXnGNdriuUN8ghcEtZw8_OhWvxoCrrgQAvD_BwE

    Check around your area if there is a wheel repair shop. May be able to get it repaired or traded in for another good one that is easier than trying to do it yourself.

    My recommendation is to just find someone on Facebook marketplace selling sport wheels and lowball them. :thumbsup:

    Have it repaired by a wheel shop or just buy you another wheel.
