    Wow looks amazing. Great job!

    For those chickens out there like me, you can try covering them in vinyl. I did mine and they seem very durable. Best part is they peel off if you ever want to go back to factory look. I peeled a couple off to redo because I was not happy with a couple of bubbles.9B57C751-D402-404B-BE50-5D41A59AC15F.jpg

    I finally got around to compounding the wheels to clean up overspray and orange peel a bit.

    Can you explain what you mean by "compounding the wheels", I'm going to paint mine using your guide and would like to finish them off as best I can.

    Also, how long did you let the paint dry prior to doing anything to the wheels (wash/clean)?

    Thanks:thumbsup:

    This is now a show off your painted OR wheel official thread. Mine has been derped for a year now.


    Bone stock and has taken me everywhere I've wanted to go by just picking a good line and having a great spotter.

    Painted mine today, I really like the look of these wheels in black.

    I wanna do this in darker bronze... I love the way the off road wheels look. Can’t find anything I like in bronze.

    Your truck, your wheels (and tires), and your well written write up are all spot on. I don't get the haters, and like you say, these are common wheels and not worth a ton of money.

    They look so good painted gloss black that Toyota should have considered offering the wheels on their trucks this way in the first place.

    Bravo.
