Anyone have a steel wheeled 2016 with some AT type tires on it?

    I'm thinking about just buying a SR5 long bed and sticking some more aggressive tires on it and foregoing fancy wheels. Anyone got a picture of one?

    I'd also be interested in seeing this. I've seen someone with more aggressive tires + painted steelies, which looked fantastic, but I'd like to see unpainted as well.

    Thanks! Your truck looks pretty good. What did you do to the wheels to get the darker color?

    What color did you use? It appears there are several colors available.

    Looks fantastic! How many coats and how many cans did it take? I'm seriously thinking of doing this!

    It ended up being two coats and three coats. I painted the center hubs separate, and I did paint the rims on the tires. I just taped off very well. I figured I would just touch them up each season as I put them on for winter, but I think next year I might try the clearcoat over the paint like some others have suggested. But so far other than a few small spots it's held up very well to the salt on its own with no clearcoat .
