If anyone has powder coated/finished the TE wheels please share and post pics. I'm interested in going back to OEM for my '10 TE but want them matte or semi black.
Thanks!

[MENTION=53327]1000MPH[/MENTION] posted these as I was looking for same thing weeks ago! It’s the way to go! Currently running vision off road Steelies and looks amazing but when and if I get rid of them I’ll be happily going back to my TE WHEELS AND POWDERCOAT THEM SATIN BLACK!

Looks good, thanks! The challenge might be to find someone to powder coat at a reasonable price in my region. I like the modified yet OEM style.
In your region? Where abouts are you? Here in Toronto for black can get them all redone for about $300

Nice! How did you handle the center caps? I assume the chrome logos pop out did you have to match the caps to the wheels with a spray paint?

These all look great! Good to see some others with the original TE wheels. I really like them black. Maybe some day ill powder coat mine but for now still silver.
I agree.. currently have the original set in silver sitting in storage but I find my self wanting to swap out the heavy off road steelies for the TE again and powder them satin black!

You only live once my man, if you find yourself wanting to and they are already off the truck then do it or you will live the rest of your life always thinking about how you should have powder coated those wheels. It will haunt you forever.! and post pics!

Yes they painted them same satin & I had pulled logo out before ! Really wish I could figure out why I can't upload pics from my S9 phone so you guys could see my 14' with those same wheels ,super good looking ! Also like that they're 7.5 & gives just lil bit more wheel with 285s

I plasti-dipped these. I wanted a quick and dirty job and wasn’t worried about perfect. I think maybe 3-4 coats. I didn’t even bother taking the overspray off the rubber. They still look good.
I can’t seem to upload higher quality pics.
Here’s one I just took. Still all dirty from the snow.
And I don’t like the wheel caps.

Cool, yeah I am moving from 17x8 to the 17.5 with 285's as well so was a little concerned but I understand 7.5 is enough.

Does anyone know if a different OEM center cap that is black will fit these? Tacoma or TRD variants?

It actually looks like the 2015-2020 TRD Pro center caps could fit...
