    So I have been throwing this idea around.
    Should I leave the wheels black or powder coat them to MGM?

    Black

    MGM.....this is the best photoshop that someone did for me, but you get the idea.

    Not my truck just using the picture.

    I have the Sport with no chrome, all color matched.

    ***And use black lug nut covers.***

    Man that’s a tough one. The black looks good but you loose some of the detail of the wheel. I think mgm with black lug nuts would be pretty sweet!

    Well I love the black, I also couldn’t see myself spending the money switching them up. But... I think the MGM wheel looks freaking sick! If you’re willing to part with the money I think it would look custom and really awesome. Do it!

    Also if you can’t get the color exact, I would lean towards the darker side of MGM. Referencing the first photoshopped photo you put up.

    I hear ya. The thing is the wheels have no tires on and this is a perfect time to do it if the cost is fair.

    I did see a color almost an exact match to MGM. There are 3 shops that I have to go check out for color and cost.

    How much black do you have on your truck? Do the black wheels really tie in with the rest of your accents on the truck? I do feel your dilemma. Those are nice wheels, but color matching them would definitely set you apart from the other Tundras.

    Those wheels alone would be different in New York.
    :rofl:

    Black running boards, mud flaps, windows, front door handles, all emblems and bed tonneau cover.

    That is a tough one. How about a really dark MGM? That might make them pop a little bit but still blend in with the color of the truck and the trim. Just spit balling here!

    Oh so you have the platinum wheels? That would be really sweet. I saw another member do his in a gunmetal grey which looked good.

    All right I’m changing my vote. I know some people hate black but they look really good on an MGM. It might just be too much color match.

    I say go a dark MGM.

    Be different. If I saw MGM wheels on your Tundra in a parking lot, I say "Hell Yeah!" and then I would think to myself, " why didn't I think of that!!!".

    If I can use myself as an example for you...I recently got SCS Ray10’s and I debated ALOT between black and gunmetal...I originally was fully intent on black but the more I looked at the 2, I realized the gunmetal was still dark enough to look good, but light enough to show the finer details in the wheels and not wash them out like black can...I feel like MGM vs black is the same dilemma for you...Go MGM, I think you’ll be happy, I know I LOOOVE my gunmetal!
