I'd like to get a set of used TRD Pro wheels for my 2019 200LC and re-finish them in a light/bright matte silver.
I recently did a firearm in Ceracoat and loved the result.
Nothing sticks to the finish either.

Any opinions on Ceracoat vs traditional powdercoat?

Tired of black and bronze.
 
I have these wheels, and went with Powdercoat.

However, you need to talk to local powdercoater to make sure they are familiar with the process of powdercoating FORGED wheels (lower temp, longer time).

I am lucky as i live 10 mins away from a guy here that does most of the baja racers forged wheels, so i was comfortable with his process

"Standard" powdercoating temps may alter the metalurgy of the wheels.
 
Good point. I’ll make some calls and post some pics of the finished project. Thx.

Yeah man, that's the ticket! Looks great. Just need to track down some wheels to refinish!

Thanks.

Depending on your area, check Craigslist, see them pop up somewhat often here in SoCal. Usually $1500 or so for a set +/-

The Protip is to try to find a set for sale with the lug nuts too. They’re freaking pricey

Don’t forget to check for Sequoia as well as Tundra. I believe mine were actually from a Sequoia.
 
check FB/offerup. Two types selling theses wheels, the I know what I got crowd, and rim shops selling takeoffs. I got mine from the latter and ended up getting a smoking deal on five matching ones (there are technically three different part numbers that cover different finishes and embossed text on the face of the wheel).

The black lug nuts are actually super cheap. Under $20 for a set of 5 black.

 
These look so good!

What color powder coat? Do you recall the cost?

Ironically I have the exact same same tires. Very impressed with the Coopers.

Thanks.

Honestly, not even sure the name of the color. Just looked at their swatches and picked the gray matte metallic one. It’s Prismatic brand powder though. That much I know. Much better UV resistance than most
