Anybody "bronzed" their OEM wheels? Specifically looking for Early 90s 15x6JJ rims (like on my 1992 FJ80). Kinda sweet, but not sure. Definetly newer and unique. Dont like gold, shooting for a dark bronze

Looking to paint them a dark color, not black. Gun metal maybe...and no, I cant afford Methods

I have a set of these in gunmetal grey. They have a sweet bronze colour too

Nice, thanks. Bet bronze will look good on black too.
 
FN(f)X Pro is an 8” wide copy of the TRD Pro wheels found on current 4Runners and Tacoma’s...but available in Bronze. Pictured here on my 98 4Runner.

I painted mine bronze. The wheels started off as a raw aluminum with peeling clear coat so I sanded them down, sprayed self etching primer, followed by a couple coats of rustoleum gloss protective enamel black. Then I put on a light coat or two of the duplicolor HWP105 bronze followed by several coats of duplicolor clear coat.

And color-matched the roll bar? Baller.

Yeah tried to but it turned out a little lighter since it’s hard to get an even light coat of the bronze on tubing. That and/or it reflects a bit more light.

Great job! What sheen clearcoat did you use, gloss, matte, satin?

Thanks! It’s a matte clearcoat. I redid my Methods in the same way, but they ended up a smidge brighter. I think the wheel shape reflects more light so that’s something to consider too.
