    Heres some pics of the rims on the truck... thanks again for all of your help TW!!!

    I'm looking at black lugs next... don't like the chrome.

    I have to hand it to my wife... she was real patient with me all weekend. I was pretty grumpy this morning when I realized it wasn't supposed to be fuzzy. I sure am blessed!

    Thanks yotanator! Super White FTW!!

    I would like to thank everyone on TW that has commented on my wife's center caps... you are giving her a big head. I will never hear the end of this one!! haha She did do really good though, she is a much better painter than I am. She should offer her Rim/center cap painting services similar to the Satoshi and cluster services.

    We got the idea from another guy on here (sorry I forgot his name). Take off the center cap, use a dremel to cut the back of the Toyota symbol plastic welds (we didn't have a dremel so we used some wire cutters that are flat at the tip (i can take a pic tomorrow). Then a flat head screw driver to scrap the weld off and push the emblem out. Primer and spray paint the emblem white (Dupli-color gloss white--I guess it matches better than their color match) and center cap flat black. Once dry, put the two pieces back together and use Loc-tite 7 min Plastic Epoxy to glue where the plastic weld originally was on the back side.

    :eek: I didn't even try to take mine off. I just free handed the emblem with a paint touch up brush

    How did you get the Toyota emblem painted on the center cap? Did you take the emblem off?

    You should've powder coat them wheels. I think the Toyota logo on the center cap would look dope in RED.
