Its been awhile, I'm here to Vent :)
I just have to say...right now
my 4runner is looking pretty damn ˟˟˟˟ty. There! I said it. Let me start off....my sister still hasn't had my passanger door dent fixed. So for the last..ohh...4 months I've a dent the size of small child on the side of my runner. Also...I just got done cleaning my car only to notice that copper is showing on my chrome rims...oohhh it gets better, some kind of alien like defication has eaten through parts of my hood so no i have no paint where there should be paint. All these on my 97 sr5 black 4runner. ARGH!!! I feel like i'm driving a piece of crap. Even though i know its now....man I feel like it looks like one So.......I'm trying to draw a plan of action. The dent needs to be fixed...yes...and it will soon with the help of my persuations on my sister. 2nd.......I need help finding some nice all BLACK RIMS. WhERe can I get all black rims??? I will probably just keep my 30.5 Michiellen (spelling?) MTX tires...(i drive a 2wd So my 30's work okay for now) Either all black rims or maybe some polished aluminum rims that look very truckish and buff. Some of those rims with the holes in them...ya know...in a pattern and such. 3rd...PAINT. OMG, there is no way I can afford a new paint job...I'm only 20 yrs old and make about 8 bux and hour. So there is no way...touch up paint...hrm....sure...I would probably have to use about 2 gallons worth of touch up paint after finding all the crap and scratches and door dings on my black runner. God I feel like i'm driving crap. !!!!!!!!!!!!!! okay breath.....sigh...okay opinions, thoughts...30,000 dollars for a new runner !! Honestly, help me out with the rims~!
thanks guys/gals
I love this fourm.

Here's a link to the American Racing 767's. There may be some cheaper brands elsewhere, but that's a start.

There's also the all black "street lock" rims at 4 Wheel Parts.
As for the dent, I've always wanted to try the dent remover from TV. Not the one with the glue, but the one that uses suction. It seems like it would work, but...

Don't do the suction dent remover. A local news channel did a test of several of the dent removers, and none worked well on dents bigger than a fist.
And don't feel bad about your rig. Mine has like a good 4 different colors, shades of black, black with primer mist, caramel where the paint has been sun damaged, rust red. Not to mention the scratched up bed, dented bumper, and cracked dash. It all adds character! Although, girls don't seem to realize that

And by the way, $8/hr isn't bad for 20. Just boot the crack habit and you're ok!
