    The truck I traded in for my new Tundra was a Ram 2500 with 18” wheels. Last winter around January I slid through an intersection and bought some studded snow tires. I went big for some decent off roads and had studs put in. Two months later I put my deposit down on the Tundra. After I got the Tundra I was going to sell my nearly new 18” snow tires and gets some 20”. Then the idea to look for some 18” wheels for the snow tires so I could do the change overs myself and keep these nice tires. Found a set of 18” black TRD wheels on eBay for $1000. Did my change over last week and found that the 18” were not as off set as the 20”, and my front center caps would not snap in because of the dust cover. Being a 3D printing nerd I searched online for a center cap design. Found these skull and cross bones that were actually for a Prius. Used my calipers to measure the TRD caps then simply scaled the prius caps up and printed. They snapped right in. I like them but have been playing around with some other designs. Being an Oregon Duck fan and Star wars fan these are what I have come up with. My Tundra is Army green.

    Another note, really love the fact that the Tundra will learn a 2nd set of TPMS sensors. I had bought a set off eBay and was getting worried because over the course of 4 days driving anywhere from 20-60 minutes at a time they had not synced. Then yesterday after a 11minute drive to work I saw the tire light was finally off, looked and I had pressures.475F3EC0-C166-4DE1-94E0-1C612A30FCCB.jpg51E6F705-8475-4021-9782-B755686F1D9B.jpg 08540D49-3537-4FB3-A1DB-4052CB134871.jpg 83E5814E-A8BA-4921-88B4-C7A2FA43CE4E.jpg

    Hell yeah that looks great and congrats on the reuse of the snow tires too. Were the rims from a tacoma or some other model to have a different offset?

    These 18’s came all black instead of the two toned machine/black? These look sharp all Black!

    I have my stock 18” offroads and don’t want to sell them. I may try some black vinyl and see where it takes me before before posting it up for sale.
