These.

Best looking wheels for a 100 by a mile.
Does anyone have a good powder code for this to turn the regular aluminum wheels this color?

Bumping this as I am looking for the same info.

I just had my 100's wheels refinished as they were very sunfaded. I used a local shop who called this powdercoat finish "Hyper Black 3". They turned out really nice, but I think they are a little dark. I am considering having them re-done a shade lighter, though I don't know if it's worth the hassle and I should just leave it.

From what I understand the original Toyota finish is very difficult to get right. If anyone has any info on a perfect OE match please share. If anyone wants to use the shop I used it's Crown Customs and Coatings in Wheeling, IL. You could always ship them your wheels. They did really good on the Hyper finish how it can look darker or lighter depending on lighting condition. Pics below, they are still working on the center caps.

This is what I was told by a couple shops in my area as well. I have the 16" wheels (2000 LC) and they are pretty rough. I was told they would be $275 per wheel to refinish. I love the OEM wheels, but at that price I opted for new wheels instead.

Just an observation from this past weekend camping. I was looking at my 2006 Thunder Cloud Metallic LC which has Hyper Silver 18' wheels from the picnic table.......too much mansplaining, LOL, but I realized that the wheels are VERY close to the color of the paint. Thunder Cloud ain't far off.

@405 I believe the original finish was spray painted on.... at least 3-4 different coats. Powdercoating can get a similar looking finish but not quite the same.
