powder coated rims and toyo MTs

[peepers]

just swapped my ATs for the MTs today on the powder coated OEM rims. even though the paint doesnt match i like the look.

will let you know how the Toyo MT is on the trail this weekend.

the ATs are on my FJ40 looking wheels. i actually use them 90% of the time. they are MUCH more quiet, more tame on the road and get better gas mileage. oh yeah, and they are better in the snow.

Looks great! I had the same thing done to mine.

If you want to paint some caps to finish her off, I used trim black from an auto paint shop. Matched perfect for mine.

good suggestion, thanks. i really like the utilitarian look of the exposed hubs though. kinda cool.

I can dig.

Was torn about that too, especially with the cost of replacement caps...

I leave them off sometimes if I am out wheeling but when I want to go for the bling factor, I throw them on.

I dont have my caps on and I have pro comp rims. I loved the look of it without them.

What Lift?

Looks really good... I am thinking to going from my BFG MT 305/70/R16's to perhaps the BFG AT 315/75/R16"S. I am currently riding on 2.5" OME springs and the 305's work great with no rubbing. The guy at the tire place thinks that the 315/75's will rub in the front. I am installing the 1" spacers under all four springs and I think that might be all I need at this time and the 315/75's should work for sure. hopefully... What lift do you have??

What wheels are those? Do you have a better picture?

Thanks

 

[peepers]

Peepers, you went through doing this and then let your tire guy clamp weights on the rim edge?

the PO had that nice work done but yes, then they did clamp the wheel weight there. i guess those are going to come of off while wheeling this weekend too eh? i will have to ask for the stickers...
