    I know that these are nissan wheels. Im still gonna get a taco. But I thought this might help you get an idea or two.

    I wanted these for my truck when I first got my truck...
    [​IMG]
    They are Moto Metal 951's.
    but with tires it was gonna be $1800. A little out of my price range just for black wheels

    So I just painted my stock wheels to match the wheels that I couldnt get. Check'em out!

    If you know how to paint correctly then your better off painting rather than buying a whole new set of wheels for hundreds. 4 easy steps, 1. sand down your rims, 2. paint with black primer. 3. paint over primer when dry with black paint 4. Add clearcoat when dry. Then youll have some legit wheels.

    Just curious how you guys painted your rims. Did you jack it up and take off one tire at a time? Or just paint them on the truck?

    You definitely have to take them off. You don't want to spray your truck or anything else around it. If you find someone with a hydraulic lift, you can knock all 4 out in 1 day but I jacked my truck up and took off 1 wheel at a time.

    That's what I thought. I don't think I know anyone with a lift though....so it might take me a while to get all 4 done.
