Input wanted: Possible wheel color schemes
I have a 99 desert dune 4runner with silver 5 star wheels, and they are really starting to show how much they've been in the southern utah sun. I plan on painting them later this year. I don't think I'll go all black, but I'm trying to figure out what would look best.
Charcoal? Stock Silver? Silver with black center caps? Lime green? What do you guys think?

I just used a Rustoleum graphite wheel paint on my wheels that would look good on that silver.

I really wish I had a set of the five-star Toyota wheels like you do. I want to find them and paint them black like this guy did:
If you haven't already seen it, check out this wheels thread:
Post your pics of your great wheels please (BLACK 4Runner preferred)

Yeah, something about this photo has always seemed odd. Nikon D5000 w/ 55-200mm kit lens. Nothing special.
Thanks for the responses guys. I'm intrigued by the bronze idea. Anyone with any links for an example?

LOL buddy desert dune isn't a color. If it looks good on a silver truck it will look good on yours as well.

Disagree. Thanks for the input though.
I think I'm leaning toward painting the wheel silver and the center cap graphite unless someone can show me some bronze wheels that look good on a "silver" 4runner.

I found this black 1st gen tacoma with bronze wheels.
1- would bronze look as clean on my 4runner as it does on this tacoma?
2- would 5 stars be too much wheel to paint it bronze? The bronze options I've seen before are narrow spoked, if that makes sense.
