ive seen all the pictures of people posting painted stock rims
but ive never seen 1 with painted trd rims
are the trd rims harder to paint or something?
or is it that just no one paints them?

I may be bias.
Does anyone have these rims with spacers? I wanna make it flush with the body.

Not to threadjack, I promise, but heres the rims in question.
My car has a black and red theme so should I tint the tails? I like the red and want to do my calipers to match.
But I'd also like to see someone paint these rims! Just please dont ask me to do it.

^^I almost went with those but I got the 5Axis rims instead. I'm liking your look. Paint your calipers
and then decide if you want to tint the tails. One last ?; what are you lowered on?

^^That does look high. I have TRD Springs and mine look nothing like yours'.
Click on the 'MGS4 "Spotted" tC' portion of my sig for a gander at how low I sit.
Your tC still looks clean though.

if you went with progress springs it would have been perfect. but ohh well the TRD stiffen up real nice when you go around a corner but still relaxing to drive.

i like how Stevemg is sitting, would look better a tad lower, but doesn't look bad.
stevemg, i wouldn't tint the tails. being in Cali that could be a hassle with the cops. Granted others have done it and haven't gotten into trouble with but I wouldn't. Plus, SOOOO many people have done it. Personally, I'd take them to a body shop to have the back part of the housing painted; that would give it a darker red. But if you don't want to do that I say just leave it as is, it still looks clean and smooth. Oh and I'd change the lugs to either red or those project kics lugs.
