Josh did black rims, it did not look good at all.
4R does not look good completely blacked out.

He probably doesn't know who I am yet seeing as that was his first post. This is what my truck looked like with black rims. I have limo tint in this picture, just not in the front. I now have basically double limo tint all around, but it still didn't look good. There was no contrast at all. I would consider some black/chrome rims, but not all black IMO.
Compared to:
As you can see, I have about 3% tint in front, which is darker than "limo" so the black rims may look better if you have lighter windows, I just don;t know how dark you have yours.

Haha daytime is easy, night can be difficult depending on where I'm driving. In dark alleys I have to roll them down to park, but driving on streets I can still see headlights fine. I had to pick up my parents from the airport last night after work around 10:30, and could see fine on the freeway. Just have to be a little more cautious. I have the exact tint % in the link in my signature.
Right now I have:
30% front, with 5% over that (the 30% first neutralized the green in the glass) which makes it something like 3%.
5% rear sides, with another 20% over that.
5% over 5% on the very rear window.
All of that is just the aftermarket tint, you also have to throw into account that the factory had the tinted glass to begin with, so all of that is really all over an additional 30% to begin with.

I did mine myself, but if you don't mind spending a few hundred bucks to buy black pearled emblems, you can get them brand new, professionally done black.
Similar question to you, did you do your tail lights yourself? Where are you located if you don't mind me asking?

I used a spray called night shades, one can should do it. The can is only about $9. I took the tail lights off and coated them. I did about 5 shades, let every shade fully dry before the next coat. Once i got the darkness, I clearcoated it. They turned out better then I thought they would. I live in northern CA

See my sig link for black painted FJ's.
Wheels on 120's are interchangable, provided you go with 17" or 18" to clear the caliper of your SE. You can also use Tundra wheels up to 2006. If you choose FJ wheels, you get 1/2" extra clearance due to the different offset.
Id suggest you try a color other than black. Try something to match the running boards and roof rails. I think that would look good and make your truck unique. Of course if you find used wheels, you can get them powdercoated whatever color you want.

no black rims
It depends what you are going for, I think the blacked out rims kind or make the t4r look like something out of mad max. the thing I like about this truck is that it's tough and a worker but yet still classey enough to take the old lady out to a nice restaurant.
