I've never liked black wheels, but I have to admit those black hubcaps look pretty darn good! Very nice job.

If you wax those , the color will last longer and be easy to clean

Wow good job! I had mine painted gunmetal. They will do until rims come in. =P

But I agree, a very easy, effective, and cheap mod.

Looks great, I did mine last Summer and they are still holding up great...well except for the one my fiance' scraped on the curb :( One thing I did different though is take the yota emblem off so it would stay chrome colored...gives it a little flare in my mind. Its real easy, all you need is a solder iron and melt the plastic away from the back!

I removed them with a diagonal cutter. If you snip the black glue off they come right off.

Did you guys sand them or primer at all? Or did you just clean them really good and paint over the silver that was already there? I really want to do this!
