Got some old Sequoia wheels, should I do anything to them?
Got a set of 4 for $185. Couple of nicks here and there.
Should I paint them or anything? I'm a bit worried about messing them up haha

it would drive a lot better if you put tires on them before you put them on the vehicle

Cringe....he was asking if he should do anything to the finish of the wheels. Smart Alec comments won't take you far.

jross20- I like the OE finish, but I have seen a few guys on here paint them gunmetal, which look pretty sharp if done right.

I bought a set of those and painted them with duplicolor wheel paint. They turned out pretty nice. I sold them so I'm not sure how well the paint stands the test of the time. The 2 in your picture look pretty good. Personally I would just run them as is. I would think the factory finish would be more durable.

Haha, thanks for the replies guys. I was thinking about a bronze finish... Maybe to match the 4runner's trim. Like a tan? But...
I really don't want to f-up the wheels...

Any tire recommendations? I'm trying not to kill my first economy..

I'm not sure if it's factory, but my wife's 05 Sequoia has these wheels and they are a shiny silver metallic (not chrome). Seems to have a bit more of a shine than yours do. Kinda understated but in a good way. Picture from Craigslist when we bought it:

I have the exact same wheels but mine are painted black. I would be a little upset if they were going on the 4runner but with the color scheme I have in mind for my 80 I am okay with them being black.

They're fine as is! I think they'll look sharp on a Runner, just as they are. OEM is the best look. Luck and enjoy the Runner!

It is. I have a set of Tacoma TRD wheels on that I stripped the paint off and repainted with supposedly high quality paints. 3 years later and they are starting to chip pretty bad. That was after using self-etching primer, clear coat with cyanides and all that. So I either get to paint them again or get different wheels once the paint falls off.

The gun metal or graphite colors do look really nice though. I might power coat my next wheels graphite so it's more permanent.

I had a pair of those and regretted selling them. I believe they came in both a lighter and darker silver option. One tip is to use a light glue or silicone on the center caps because they will pop out (I lost a couple of them in the few months that I was running those wheels).

Bronze would look great on those but the stock color does look good too. I usually only like black or bronze wheels but those are one of the few pairs I like in silver.

Can confirm. WAY more work than it's worth.

Oh man, it's cool to see all the different thoughts and opinions.

So I haven't actually clean to these yet, I guess there's a chance they may shine up once they are cleaned.

I'll try to post a picture once I get them cleaned up.

I painted mine with Duplicolor graphite wheel paint. Paint has held up respectably well.

Love those wheels. IMHO, it’s one of the best looking wheel on any Toyota 4Runner. Clean and slightly sand them and paint.
