    Look up Duplicolor, they have rattle can paint to match just about any manufacturer paint color.

    Edit: Also order their clear if you want a glossy finish. Mine with just paint are more Simi gloss. I also sprayed the wheels with adhesion promoter before painting. It comes in a rattle can also and goes on clear under the paint.

    These wheels were on the truck when I bought it. I don't have any source. Might be best to buy a set and paint them like @exportexp said.

    What wheel caps are these? I found something similar off the Hilux on e-bay. Coming from Thailand though. Considered painting the factory plastic wheel caps off my SR wheels to match the black on the spare. Small detail but looks very clean and factory!

    Got my steelies all painted. I used Rustoleum flat black, and then paste waxed over that. Very happy with how they turned out. I mounted some KO2 235/85/R16 tires on them as well. The truck drives very similar to the factory set up, hard to tell a difference.

    I also weighed my original steel wheels after getting back from the tire shop. I asked them to transfer the sensors from the original wheels to the steelie spares, and of course they didn't fit! So i just had them leave the tires off instead of paying them to re-mount and balance them. I was surpised at how heavy they were 29lbs, compared to the steelies at 24lbs. So 5lb difference.

    Walked past a 2nd gen with a spare on about 6 months ago and had to do a double take. I thought that looked pretty cool! Had to get a whole set for myself.
