    Could someone tell me if I can change my Gunmetal (Anthracite) wheels to Matte Black and if so, tell me where I could go to get this done (close to Chino, CA)?

    Thank you!

    I'm not familiar with the California area, but anybody that powder coats should be able to do it for you.

    Thank you for the response. I found an alternative but in doing so, decided to not change them right now...found something else I'd like to do instead! :D

    Don't alter the anthracite. They are very difficult to come by.

    I decided not to do it....If I were to sell these could I make a pretty penny off of them? I really want a different rim in black and I don't like that they say TRD when I don't have a TRD (I bought the truck off some guy that put them on). Or can I cover that part up with something?

    Very expensive set of rims if they are originals. You could almost buy two of the Trail Teams for one of the SE. Cover the TRD if you want; but don't damage them.

    I bought my truck used with these rims on them. I believe he said they were original but how do you tell? They're in perfect condition but I'd really like to change them out.
