black rims?

Sprayed mine last week here's results.

 

I just bought my Tacoma last week, and the first thing I did was paint the rims. I'm not sure if I like how they turned out though . I love the look of black stock rims on others tacos, maybe mine will look comparable once I get the lift and new 33" tires.The tires look strange because the painters tape removed a lot of the dirt in some places.

I used Rustoleum Hammered black by the way.

What do you guys think?

 

this may be dumb but im new to trucks and just got an 05 blue tac prerunner, where do you go to get powercoating and how much does it usually cost

 

I think black rims look great on a truck that you want to give a little more of a mean look.
If you have a luxurious look (chromed out, and all) then keep stock, or buy new rims.

I vote for BLACK

 

hell yes

 

How about getting a set of spare tire wheels and doing the black thing...flat/semi or gloss...paint or power coat?

The spare wheel kinda looks like the rock crawlers.

However the pro comps are my fav in black.

 

powdercoat

 

Price??

 

after sandblast,powdercoat,clearcoat and the tire removal it was 350 with tax.... thats canadian price

 

powdercoat.....
only way to do it

 

Nicely done. Rattle can or HVLP spray? Did you just tape off those areas for contrast?

 

Powdercoat for sure. Here is mine.

 

so i noticed that some people powder coated there rims but they are still like shiny and others are like flat? Are there different kinds of coatings or colors? Im getting mine done in a couple days so i was just wondering. I want the flat black look.

 

good question.....

 

yes it is

 

how much did it cost to powercoat them???!!!!! THEY LOOK SICK! i wanna do it too! any price quotes?

 

Awesome finish, 3 months later.

 

bump

 

I voted are you stupid because it was the most smart ass option

 

Rattle can. And yea just tapped for contrast. I liked those style rims but this was way cheaper than buying. Took alot longer though.
