Gloss or matte wheels on my Underground?

100% accurate. Did the same thing a few years back and scored a really good deal on my gunmetal.

 

From having the FN wheels I prefer the 8 inch wheel or 8.5 which I have now. Better stance and better handling. The nice thing you can run your stock size tire or 285’s.

 

Dang! Looks like they're out of stock 'til December.

 

LA260: it looks like you did the 285s on the OE (7") wheel. Any issues?[/QUOTE]
No issues.

 

Damn, is that what they cost now-a-days.
We got my TRD Matte Gray's for $60 ea., when we bought our 4R back in '16.
Dealer was having a sale on them for $120 ea. back then. We just kept telling the sales woman no on that price until she agreed to $60 a piece.

 

Now I'm wondering if those would look good or bad with black lug nuts.

 

On your truck, I think either would work. My fancy Limited has a lot of fancy chrome accents, so the chrome lugs work. On my 100, I went with black lugs because there's less fancy chrome. But lugs are subtle enough that neither color would really pop.

 

The choice I would have made. Love the color too.

 

I like the ORP “sprocket” wheels, but I also think they get a bad rap b/c they’re mostly paired at the dealers with a set of H/T’s.

Might be an unpopular opinion (in 2024…), but I’ll just say that when you start seeing black wheels (flat & gloss) with faux A/T’s showing up on CRV’s, Rogues, and pretty much everything else including your kid’s Huffy, it might be time to consider a different off-road style.

I think TRD gunmetal will hold up 5 years from now, when a lot of folks will be punting on black.

 

Just don't be scared to sand a little, spray some brake cleaner and rattle can that bad boy, followed with a few coats of clear coat.Did this on my old Xterra. Turned out great!

 

Even painted around the logos on the center caps - nice work! I've rattle-canned wheels, bumpers, sliders... entire Jeeps. I'm a fan!

 

I have the black with gunmetal and I like the combo.

 

I like that.
Thanks!

 

Gloss is the way!

 

Matte. I like it on the underground, looks great in person

 

Alrighty, y'all, thank you for your input.

After a few weeks' worth of staring at them, plus the discussion here, I decided on the gloss gunmetal.
The order is placed; now I'm about to start studying tires.

Probably should have asked earlier: Should I get new TMPS sensors, or try to wrangle the ones from my current wheels? I've heard there's a big risk of damage when trying to remove them, and wonder if it's worth it.

 

Use your same ones. I have done it numerous times with my aftermarket wheels and never an issue. No need to buy new ones.

 

Very good. Thank you.

 

Wheels have arrived!
Getting them installed tomorrow. Can't wait.

 

Done!

It's like McDonalds, man, "I'm lovin' it."

 

Good looking rig sir

 

Thank you!

I still think I want the black lug nuts and locks, but I've $pent plenty today.

 

I like the idea of black lugs but I figure they'll just get worn every time I rotate tires and end up looking bad. Maybe they won't. Never had any myself.
