Default Wheels

Hello everybody.

Would you mind to show off your wheels here?
Also, has anyone restored OEM wheels? My wheels are peeling, bubbling etc. Just thinking whether to try to sand them and then plasti dip them or buy another wheels off 4Runner or other Toyota trucks. But it is hard to find the ones I want for a price I want though

Thanks all!

That black chrome looks cool. Although, not sure how it will look on a car. I was thinking to plasti dip stock to matte black. Now I might think of chrome black.
I don't whan't to dismount tires, that's why a full restoration and paint is not an option . Unless, anyone has done that without dismounting the wheels from the car?
