Thanks to a fellow forum member, (Oom Mac) I found what I was looking for ages.
I swapped my 17" Hilux mags for Prado 17" mags. I'm in the process of "De-chroming" everything that's shiny. (Mags, side mirrors, door handles, grill, back bumper, rollbar, nudgebar)
The mags were powder coated with a Ferrograin matt black. The big challenge were to get the centre caps the same as the rest of the mags (plastic centrecap). After a week of searching for solutions, here are the end result.

Re: My new mags
I think black mags look awsome.Had my mags painted black and was happy with the look .My sons over-ruled me and sprayed the
rims silver.Not really happy.But I am outvoted.

Re: My new mags
Look very good. Do not know why the dealers must chrome everything.
