Paint them invisible so the truck looks like it is floating as you drive.

That spray chrome video you posted is quite impressive...

I painted them white like I saw them on these FJ40s in Japanese Land Cruiser magazines. I think they look better in white.

I notice that mine were widen differently than yours, if you look at the pictures closely....

And how it looked on the truck

I always liked the look of cygnus white on widened OEM rims ...

mustardfj40 how wide are yours? is that the weld seams i can see on yours ?

i do agree the white looks great on the mustard colored rigs ,but i still think i like the grey color
wheels for other colored rigs. do you have any pics with the hub cap on .

another question how do you get the center caps on these wheels, i can't get the damn things to go on .clips are to stiff. maybe i need to bend a couple a bit, anybody??

Oh boy! It has been sometime but I believe it is 2 inches wider than stock, and I used a different offset than stock to give the truck a wider stand for taller SOA. What they did was cut out the center of the wheel then welded it on a new cylinder. As for the color whatever float your cruiser, pal

Bend the clips in a bit, harder to get a rubber mallet in that deep wheel
