I wanted to get back on 15" after 2 years of the 18" TRDs, so the plan started. Ordered some Falken 912s in 195/60/15 (still need to be detailed) and threw them on after I did the wheels up in semi gloss black. Then did the stainless trim rings and center caps in the same color. Ordered a vinyl rim stripe kit off ebay for the trim rings and some black rubber caps for the stock lugs. I wanted this look but couldn't afford the $400 plus wheels so I said what the heck and just went for it. I'm diggin the look for now but can still go to hubcaps when needed. Here are a few pics.

You should paint the rims Gold or Bronze... Do it...

But then the gold or bronze would show thru the holes in the hubcaps when I change them up. Plus I haven't seen any wheels with black lips/red line and gold or bronze centers.

i'm liking the red ring and the blacked out lugs but the red center cap should be black

some red lug nuts and ss dust cap would be nice...it looks good!

Thanks, the centercaps are black. They have red Toyota emblems in the middle tho. I may lose them.
The lugs have caps on them. May try black or polished caps and red lugs.

bB2NER

OK, I got rid of the red centercap emblems and added the chrome lugs. Looks way better and thanks for all the suggestions.

Yah know maybe if the hiles in the rims were square instead of round . . . Something about the stock steelies look unfiinished - maybe some baby moon caps over the lugnuts.

Looks good to me Jeff!

Thanks, the black rings are just another of my options. I also go between the Yaris caps and bB caps without much work.

As far as the holes go. I wish there were no holes. That would look different.

matte black looks too cheap imo, you should either do a gloss black, red strip, and tire shine or gold would look cool beans, even if there are holes.

I agree Bronze would look good. I would try a flat bronze.

Where can I get a stainless or chrome hub center cap? All the ones I've found are zinc plated steel and mine are starting to rust. Thinking about just sanding and painting therm, they were the NAPA ones.

I got the full racing disks in stainless but forget about checking your tire air pressure . . . you have to take them off. They ended up rubbing against the steelies at the very edge near the tire bead and wearing the paint off the steelies and rusting them a little - touched them up with black undercoat. They do look good but the brakes don't get much cooling.

bB2NER

The NAPA ones can be polished and clearcoated. Mine were still shiny before I painted them black for this project.

The Volk Time Attack theme has been butchered to hell. lol. Whatever floats your boat though. I must admit, looks clean and makes steelies look better.
