Got wheels powdercoated, what do you guys think?

Hey guys, I'm kinda new to the site as I just bought my Tacoma a few months back. I was looking to change it up some so I had my wheels powdercoated gunmetal grey, just seeing what people thought or should I have just gone with a custom wheel?!

 

Glad to see someone doing it right and not plasti dipping

 

It looks good. But if you like it that's all that matters. And if you don't like it, we can't really talk you into liking it. Glad to have you aboard on TW by the way!

 

I think it looks good man

 

Looks awesome, getting mine done soon!

 

You did good

 

I like, reminds me of my old ATX Artillery wheels.

 

Looks good. I debated a long time if I should powder coated. I ended up just buy new rims.

 

Lol! Thanks! I have to admit that I did plasti dip my emblems on my truck and surprisingly they are very close in color! Thanks for the input guys, when I first got them mounted up I wasn't sure about it but I think they are growing on me! At least no one in my small town will have grey ones, everyone seems to be doing black so thats why I chose grey!

 

Did you do this yourself or take it to a shop? Looks really good man! I have the darker blue Taco and was thinking about doing the same..but then was also looking at going chrome because of all the shine I have up front...Lemme know please! Thanks!

 

looks good. god damn that long bed looks LOOONG

 

It is! I've got a DCLB and that is a long truck. Takes a while getting used to it. But the extra bed space is nice

 

I got my sequoia rims coated black.. but i wish i'd gone gunmetal. Those look sick and they're durable!!!

 

I had it done at a small powdercoating shop in a little town by where I live. It wasn't really that expensive, it was about 180 to have all 4 done.

Yeah, the beds on these things are loooooong, but I couldn't imagine not having that space after owning this truck, I used to have a crewcab z71 with that little bed, I couldn't haul anything without leaving the tailgate down!

 

totally understand man. I've got the longer bed on my access cab and I couldn't live without it! truck is looking great

 

Not everybody has the money to get it done, doing it yourself can look pretty good and will cost less than $30.

 

i think it looks awesome man! i'm curious how long you were without your truck for while this was done and roughly how much you had to throw down for that?

 

Made the good looking stock wheels look great.

 

I was only without the wheels for about 3 days, I had a set of MB wheels I used while mine were getting powdercoated. It was around $180 to have all 4 done, I went back and forth about leaving the outer lip silver and the rest grey but in the end I just had them all done grey and left the centers of my centercaps left alone to have a lil color mixed in there. As far as people plasti dipping the wheels, its a cheap and easy mod, this was my first experience using it on my emblems and was very impressed how well that stuff worked!
