    @ 4OFF same here wanted to match the colour of the TJM bulbar but the code is secret.
    But matched up pretty good, just wanted to be different, plus now the Patrol has a colour theme
    in black and grey

It's 50/50.

    Kind of pissed off. Already ordered new tyres on 16" dynamic rims, and only then saw how good these look in black. lol

    After seeing 04OFF wheels I have been thinking for last few days about doing that to my wheels but didn't know what they'd look like !!! So glad I found this thread - I love them in black .... wooohoooo .... now off to read the rest of the posts

    A straight all black setup will be cheaper.
    Mine were 2 PAC painted and then cnc machined for the polished surface and then clear coated.
