Thanks man! I am happy with the way they turned out. After shooting clear coat over them, I couldn't believe they turned out as good as they did out of a spray paint can..

Much better

I see the odd 4Runner with steel rims, and if I could have found some, I probably would have used them for Winters. However, that would have possibly, changed my decisions on which TBU upgrade I went with... Most I've seen were either rusty or pretty banged up! Yours look great! It would be nice to see them on your truck---lets see some pics!

The great thing about steel, is there's less prep work than alloy. I ended up re-finishing 4 sets of alloys over 4 years and it was a lot of work. My original LTD rims are starting to look sad again so I think I'm in for number 5 this Spring. This was the 3rd set I did and they were I pretty good shape when I got them with vurturly no pitting of the alloy. Stripping them and polishing them was lots of work but 2 years on, the CC has lost its lustre and is starting to peel in places. I may paint them, as I've had greater success with this.

I like the bronze look. I'd like to go a little more of a copper but it'll do for now

I'll be mounting these on some new 265/75R16s this week. I'll post a picture after! Thanks for the encouragement dude!

I have always liked those wheels. What size tire are you running there?

Finally got some skins on the 4runner! 265/75r16s - 32s. I love them! I think the color turned out to be perfect for the evergreen pearl. Unfortunately one of the wheels I bought is warped despite my best efforts. It's only noticeable at 65+

warped, that sucks. I guess that's more of a possibility with steelies... however, they look great! Keep an eye out for a single, and use the warped one for a spare...
