5th gen Wheels

I’m thinking of picking up a set of 5th gen SR5 wheels and doing a little project and slapping them on my 07.... if I can find a set at a good price.
Here’s what I’m thinking. Paint them black and put TRD center caps on them.
The picture below is a good example however I would use the matte black center cap instead.
What do you all think?

 

I think it looks great, go for it.

 

just have to find some that aren’t a ridiculous price.

 

So what in your mind is a price to consider?

 

SR5 rims are hideous stock they should be free.

Black they look good.

There is people here selling their SR5 rims with no tires for $800 or trying to sell should I say. I sold my TRDOR with tires for $900 and I thought was a good deal.

 

Yes indeed I can’t believe the price people want for these rims, you have the exact same idea I had with wanting to buy a second set and painting black or a dark gunmetal color... I’m only willing to go as high as $250 for a set of four... I should hit up the junk yard and see what they have available?

 

If they are that bad, why do people still seek them? I can’t believe how some folks think shit should be free. Of course unless they are the one selling.

 

I've got my set for sale with tires for $450 obo. Unfortunately you are a good ways off from TX....

 

My limit is 200-250 for the wheels, obviously more if the set has tires that are pretty good.
The market is saturated with them.

 

That’s essentially what I did as a temporary fix to get rid of the limited wheels.

 

They look good! What did you use to paint them? Paint, plastidip or something else?
Thanks

 

I've been fairly successful (5ft job) using wheel paint from autozone. plastidip has not held-up well in my experience - EASY to use and cleanup.

But for a better result - I really like the stuff from Automotive Touch-up [https://www.automotivetouchup.com/] their spray paint + clear-coat does a nice job. the color match for what I've used it on has been spot on. I've used their cans and HPLV paint and had good results. Its all about the prep IMHO. I use index cards & painters tape around the wheel to protect the tire from paint.

 

if you buy a set for $250 and then powder coat them black at about $85 per wheel, might as wheel buy TRD black wheels or aftermarket. I sold my set of 4 for $300 local. Seems avg.

 

I wish I could find Pro wheels for $300 around here

 

edit, meant to say sold my SR5 Snowflakes for $300, paid a little under $700 for the TRD.

 

Rustoleum and matte clear coat

 

Where do you get the trd center cap? For this rims?

 

This isn’t my picture but I believe they are FJ Cruiser trail teams center caps - not sure of part number.

 

Thanks I found them in eBay $19 each so I’m have to do it.

 

I have a set of SR5 stock wheels and tires off my 21 SR5P 4R for sale.. tires about 2350 miles on them.. going bronze trd rims and hercules AT tires..

 

nice! Post pics when you get done

 

I have to paint the rims but it’s fit perfectly. So now we know. Thanks for the picture. Now I have to buy all 3 and paint it.

 

Didn't think it would fit. That's awesome it worked out for you.

 

By chance do you have a part number for the center caps in this picture? I plan to powder coat my 5th Gen SR5 4Runner wheels black and slap on the TRD center caps but don’t know which ones to buy on eBay.
Thank you in advance.

Reviving this thread…

can you confirm this eBay link is still the valid center cap that fits the SR5 OEM wheels? If not, can you please confirm the proper part number? Looking to do the same thing but I want to make sure I’m grabbing the proper part.
Thank you!
