    I've been running these 20" Enkei wheels off a 1st gen Tundra XSP for a while now. They look pretty decent on the truck as-is, but I'm always up for something different :D

    They're far from perfect; have little nicks and scratches in all of them, so I wouldn't feel so bad painting over the finish on them. I was thinking about just blacking out the center and leaving the polished outer rim alone. Not sure what would look better, a satin or gloss black. If I were to go through with it, I'd probably just use Plastidip the first go-around to see how I liked it, that way if it came out looking like garbage I could just peel it right off :rolleyes:

    I know I've seen multiple other Tacoma's rolling these wheels, but I have yet to see one with them painted.

    Anyone have an opinion? Maybe someone with some Photoshop skills could black them out in a photo, lol

    In the end, I may just go the Plastidip route regardless, because I'll be getting rid of these in a couple months hopefully and going to some TX Pro wheels ;) I'd leave the Plastidip on and let the buyer of the wheels do whatever they please with them once they're sold, lol

    Question,
    Hopefully not too dumb. What is the tire size mounted and are there any rubbing problems. Reason I ask is that when I went from 295/45 to 305/50 on my GX, I encountered rubbing problems. Looked a lot better though and filled the wheel wells better, but annoying at low speed full lock.

    What will you be doing with these wheels when you take them off? I'd love to take them off your hands.
