Most of the wheels were bent, so I just said screw it and had them all redone in a Nissan Flint Metallic ...something.

All the bends are gone, and they look great.

My only question is this:

My TRD center caps fit VERY loosely in the centers. I can just tap them out with 1 finger. Only one of the caps has a metal wire around it and it just falls out without any push...how do you get these to stay on the wheel?

 

nice! The color looks bad a$$ man! Metal Wire? Hmmm when I put mine on... it didn't have a metal wire. Just plastic clips and it plopped right in. I would order some new ones bro.

 

hey... if you don't mind... what kind of ballpark figure did it set ya back to have those refinished like that? Curious as I have a set of wheels I have been thinking of getting professionally refinished.

 

Nice job there.

 

Looking good!

 

Thanks guys! The color is actually a bit darker than that, the flash makes it a bit brighter. I wanted a color that was noticeably gunmetal/graphite during the day, but at night (due to the lack of pearl flecks) it looks black


I got a hook up from the guy that sold me the wheels. He sold me all 4 w/center caps for $80. Then, since he owned an auto shop, he made a call into a place called "Wheel Technologies" which is in Dallas, TX that worked on one of my rims before me and they redid them for $75/ea

If you have a wheel refinishing shop near where you live, get an auto shop to call in for you, as they get discounted rates vs. a normal joe-shmo.

So after tax they cost $316.xx + $80 I spent = $396.xx


Oh and as to the center cap issue, I guess each cap belongs to a certain wheel as the other caps snap perfectly into other wheels nice n tight.

 

the wheels look sick, what color tC are they going on?

 

Azure Pearl Blue

 

Sweet wheels... I'm getting mine done in black chrome with a TRD red pinstripe around the edge... hope it turns out great.
