    Holy shit those look good painted graphite!! Hmmm now there's an idea instead of just buying black aftermarket rims. Those would look very nice on my BSP. :D

    killer looking job! My '11 goes in for some bumper repairs and was going to see if body shop can do the rims as I'm sure I'd screw it up, was thinking black until I saw these grey ones, wow.

    Problem is my truck is grey and I'm with the previous poster, maybe too much grey......anyone out there with a grey taco and grey wheels with pics?

    Also, no going back I suppose once you paint them right?

    Happy Canada day July 1, buy a soldier a beer ..........

    Nice job. I did the exact same thing about two years ago and the worst part was the 6 hours of prep/sanding...

    That's looks perfect. I wish Toyota would have an option for those wheels in that color. I like a gun metal color better then black. IMO

    Wow! I used to think factory rim painting was a bit lame looking but the graphite looks amazing! Very nice work, I can tell you spent some time on them. I am glad someone else lists "beer" as an essential tool for working on their truck. Thanks for inspiring my next project!
