In keeping with your other red trim on the grill, tailgate and bed liner, have you considered red plasti dip on your steel wheels? I know some others have done their wheels in plasti dip. If you don't like it, it's easy enough to remove and change.

Yeah, man I'm going back and forth on the plati dip, just have never used the stuff before. Not sure how well it will hold up and if I'm going spend the time I want it to last.

I just painted mine over the weekend. I’ll upload a picture today. Didn’t use much paint at all and looks much better imo

It holds up really well. Did it on my 17' Tacoma. Super easy to use. Tons of videos on "how to" on youtube:

Good luck!
