I was going to paint the factory alloy's semi-gloss black. Right!
So, I showed Jen a photo of twack's Silver Sport and seeing that his KJ is the same colour and has the same factory six spoke wheels as our '04 she really likes the look of his wheels but thinks that black wheels might detract from the looks of the M/T R's!
Like I said, my wife is right into customizing our KJ as much as I am!:)

So, she likes the idea of a "Hammertone" charcoal grey: T064-GR05
Silver Hammertone Semi-Gloss
Or a Silver Vein colour like this sample: T375-BK26
Silver Vein Semi-Gloss
Half way down the page.

Or a Gunmetal/Argent clour sort of like this AEV wheel:

So what do you think?

My 2 favorite colors........I like the stock Renne wheels that have the gunmetal spokes and silver rim. I also like black. I am no help here. Either one will look great.

For KJ rims, I'm kind of a gunmetal man, myself. Just my 2c.

Hey saw my name thought id come in here. If you still want to stay on the budget and you have some patience, try painting them black with a chrome lip. Ill try to get a really good, lit picture of how mine looks i dont think it takes to much away from the tires. If you get those second rims please tell me you will not use those nasty yellow center caps

Do you meen those American Racing Chamber wheels?
The only center caps I've seen with those are black plastic.

As far as the chrome lip idea, Great minds think alike:D
I think I'm going to go for the Charcoal Grey Hammertone finish.
It's only paint!
I look forward to your next finished projct though.

Cheers
