They look great. I have been considering having mine powder coated black. I am not sure about it yet. Any thoughts from other members?
 
Thanks man, the rims were ****ty anyways, aluminum was peelin off on all the sides of the stars if u will and it was pitted and ****ty. I sell cars for a living so i pay just over what my owner pays for em which means besides anything it needs in the shop you get as is, which meant ****ty pitted rims
 
But they are great durable rims for winter and off roading a bunch of people have told me so i fogured give em a lil makeover. 3 hrs of work and about 35 bucks in supplies
 
Looks nice billyboston707!! I painted my stock steel wheels gloss black (factory finish was starting to rust). However, I kept the plastic center caps sllver and painted the Toyota logo black. Look good and keeps the rust at bay from harsh Pennsylvania winter road salt.

Powder coat would be better!!! Just did not wanna spend the $$$$$$$$$$

When the lugs get tqd down, would that pressure cause the powder to crack and start a downward spiral?
 
The paint gets chipped around my lugs. I'll just touch them up with paint in the spring.
 
I understand paint touch ups.... but i was under the impression powder acted differently.
