Any of you guys run your painted wheels in deep mud? My factory wheels are not looking so great, but I am concerned that the paint would just get scoured off in the slop.
Lets see those painted wheels (1 Viewer)

Do you have a write up for "mocking up" clips on steelies? Looking to do that for my 79' possibly. Also, you have to run spacers on your 45 series with FJ steelies right?
Refinishing wheels in Vancouver area is not cheap - does anyone have:
1 - factory specs on finish? (colors? clear? etc); and/or
2 - recommendation for a shop to do the work?
For what I've been quoted I can buy new SR8 wheels and look like a fanboy of BoxRocket.

How did you do the 2 tone? Looks nice!
Just finished painting my stock wheels! Also went ahead and painted the outside (rear) vents.

Are you running spacers with the 17" Sequoia wheels?

Good to know. What about rubbing on the frame? Have you tested that?
I am looking at maybe going to a 35x10.5 tire but only available in a 17" wheel so I initially am looking at those same Toyota wheels.
I barely touch the inner fender at full stuff in the rear. I am not lifted and I am on 35's.
If the signature you have is current: "
1997 FZJ80 no lift, deflared, 285/75R17, exahaust moved up over the frame, Cloth seat upgrade,
Jeff Breid (@jbcruiser74) • Instagram photos and videos"
Then I fixed the above post for you
. Siggy might be old tho.
34.8 inches about as close to 35 as I can getFixed it for you

285/75/17 is a 33.5" tire basically.
Actually according to Cooper and a tape measure they are 34.06.. Most 35's come in around 34.5 even less in some brands.
I was so tempted to go with the graphite that most folks have tried but I didn't think it would be quite right on my rig. So I went with silver duplicolor wheel paint (2 cans of primer and just under 3 cans of silver).
Before: old black chipped painted wheels
After: Silver Duplicolor Wheel paint

Picked up 4 LX450 rims that were corroded with paint bubbling up underneath, so sanded and painstakingly taped em up, painted with rustoleum and clear coat as well
Im very happy with the finished product
I used rustoleum 'Dark Steel' for silver look on top and 'Black Night Metallic' for inner areas to get the "LX look
We will see how this holds up, its not VHT wheel paint so time will tell......

Painted my Chrome LC Wheels:
Had anyone painted their LX 470 rims white? I have the Mica green color with silver/chrome-ish rims. Wondering what it would look like if the stock rims were white.
