Nice wheels. I notice that your rear badging and grille appear to be black chrome? I have black chrome factory rims on my GX and was thinking the rear badging, chrome strip, below window trim, and grille would look good done the same. What did you have done, where, how much?
Thanks

Cool, have you determined your speedometer difference yet?

Thanks,
The badges and grill are pearl black, which i did myself.

CV,
Speedo has been unaffected. OEM tire size on the 18" is equivalent to those on the 17".

Dan,

Where did you get the pearl black product and was the application difficult?

Thanks,
Rick

Are those 4runner wheels or are they the accessory wheels for the GX.

Thanks guys!

hsk,
The emblems are "Sport Edition" to match my "sport edition"

Rick,
The pearl was mixed for me by a friend who works at a paint shop. The application was pretty difficult because of the surface. Prepping chrome to hold paint and not chip easily was the issue, but so far so good. it's been holding up fine for 3 months.
Too bad it took 3 grills to find out.

MSM,
The wheels are from a 06 T4R Limited.

Thanks again for the comments!

Dan

Umm; I'm not up for that. I might check into this at a body shop at some point.

Thanks Dan!

sweet looking rims. I also love the pearl black emblems but unfortunately, I have a black GX and that sure won't show up.

The more I see people getting these rims, the more its making me itch more and want to get them as well.
