I bought some Tundra steelies just to hold me while I swapped out some tires. They were cheap, I got 4 with some bald tires for $90. Hated them when I put them on, they just looked out of place, but as spending priorities go, wheels were way down on the list after bumpers, sliders, a rack, etc.
So I sucked it up and rattle can painted them. My neighbors didn't appreciate me doing that, btw. Having a paint shop in the driveway somehow frightens people. But that's their problem.
It can't be said often enough, we're talking about wheels. Wheels get nicked, sometimes bent. We buy them to abuse them. So once they were finally painted, my appreciation began to grow. In fact, I'm not sure at this point I will change them out for different rims.
It's precisely as was mentioned earlier:
-It not only looks 'business,' I'd dare say it looks crazy. Anti-conformist functional.
-Spending $600 at a paint shop for something you can do for $60 is nuts.
If you plan on beating your vehicle silly, like the business look, and don't see the value in a 1k expenditure going to a part that has offers no functional improvement, then painting some Tundra steelies is an excellent way to go...
