    Thinking about powder coating my wheels matte dark bronze. Have had them for a couple of years now and just looking to switch things up without paying an arm and leg. Local shop that does very high quality work can do the job for $300-$400, not bad at all. I love these wheels but I was thinking the machined lip is really noisy and bright for the truck. What do you guys think? 66418622-F902-4AE0-ABE1-337FCC7140DA.jpg0B2530E2-9E87-4352-98F2-BD05750EC8E0.jpg

    I think it would look great with the bronze!

    Just an idea, why not Plastidip or Autodip them to see what it would look like before doing it permanently?

    I have the 16” TRD Bead Locks in Bronze with the chrome bead locks. The previous owner had Plastic Dipped them black. I was surprise when the dip started to peel off, and saw the Bronze underneath. Took the rest of the dip off the wheels but dipped the headlocks matte black. Now thinking of having the bead locks Powder Coated.
