I could just get my stockers powder coated black. Come on guys, you cannot say that this 4runner doesnt look bad ass. I know its a fellow YotaTech member but i just cant seem to think of his name right now.

Sorry dude, I never liked black wheels, I just think they look cheap. Everyone always thinks it's missing hub caps. Nice truck, but i'm not crazy about black, unless it is a beater, and you just want anything you can get your hands on.

thats what i think. when i see black i see a person who likes their truck but does not care enough about it to buy it good shoes. and yes i do live in Cali and i pretty much hate it. WAY too many people do chrome everything out here. im tired of seeing lifted hummers on 26s and 35 inch mud terrains that i know have never seen dirt in its life...... not to mention its driven by a woman with 3 kids.

chrome is just my choice. i like black on a rock crawler rig. one that is lifted with 37s and exo'd other than that im a fan on chrome.

I can respect that, although my truck will probably never rock 37's I really like the black against the silver paint...

Actually, I have to tell you as someone who has had chrome wheels, alloy wheels, and black steelies, I really like the black when it comes to cleaning the rig. Chrome is so stinking hard to keep looking good. And if they're older and start to rust, it looks way lame. At least with black steelies you can treat and paint over the rust. But hey, to each his own. (And I really was just messing with ya about the Cali thing. I lived there, too, and it seems like everyone chromes everything.)

black

I like the black. Crome will eventually oxidize if not cared for often.

why these hard descisions!!! AHHH. i really like the look of black rims, i think the look really bad ass and like hardcore. but then again whenever i see black rims i think of a car without hubcabs. I like silver though but i wanted somethin a little bit different then stock. So guys how bout a nice inbetween, how yall think a charcoal gray/gunmetal would look on the rims. Its dark enough where its not gonna be mistaken for the missing hubcabs but its not gonna be to bling bling.

Could one of you with more photoshop skills them me take that picture of the runner above and make the stock rims a dark grey.
