came home and swaped the wheels/tires from the mustard 40 to the green 40......the wheels and tires are both new......but had been on the 40 for 2 years and 200 miles 
What ya all think?
I am thinking I like the chrome wheels...........which were optional on 81+ fj40's

Uhh, too bling.
I think the chrome looks good with the bezel....
Not too bling bling, just clean and stock looking.
I like Razor's grey wheels/caps, too.
Damn, just got an 80 and now I want a 40!

I think the chromies look good. Sweet.
The chrome is perfect on that cruiser in that color. It ties into the overall look of the vehicle.
The color establishes the style of any vehicle and that is particularly true about FJ40s. Once more it's my opinion only, but I think that unless an owner is prepared to repaint the vehicle to one he or she prefers that owner is stuck once the particular color vehicle is purchased. (It's a great reason to own more than one) For each one the only right thing that the owner can do is enhance the style of the truck.
I think, John, that you have finally come to your senses.

Chrome.
Well, if you're going that route, you should really think about taking my stainless door hinges to complete the deal!

I respectfully disagree with IDave here, I think Chrome is fine as long as it is OEM and came with that model.
Chrome looks great with that color. Much better than hubcaps on a late FJ40.
I like the looks of hubcaps, but I also like the major items like that to line up with the availability and year model.
Nolen, I do see your point.

Here's why I was asking about non-hubcap splits...I have 5 of these, they're white, sold to me as OEM Toyota 16" splits. They're marked "16x5.50F SDC 11 88" on the wheel, and "J16X 5.50F SDC 11 88" on the locking ring...and the date varies from 11/88 to 10/90. Were 70 series sold with white wheels, or is it possible these aren't Toyota wheels? There's a little logo stamped, too, that looks like an S inside a circle, sorta.

Pimp, I don't see where in this thread you ever actually picked a color...
I just picked my wheels up from PowderVision in Preston, WA (www.powdervision.com) this morning. I choose RAL 7040 by Tiger Drylac as the color. They did not have Dupont Concrete Gray, and I couldn't see anything in his samples or books that had a green tint that I liked.
So I picked this color.
I think they turned out really, really well. The quality of powder coating is fantastic; look at the seams between the hub and rim portion...it's super clean.
