new to the scene ....need help....

i just got a 2012 tacoma "Taco" lol ...was wondering if anybody had any input about me putting some wheels on my truck just need a different look to it..without doing any major lift kit or anything....not really gonna be taking this thing off-roading or anything... any help would be kindly appreciated ...

 

Honestly,

Wheels are up to you.... There are soooooooo many different looks and styles out there that it's almost impossible to recommend rims without personally knowing someone.

No rim is really going to be better for off roading than another rim. If youre doing mostly street driving you'll want a 17 / 18 inch rim unless you like to look of a 16 inch rim more. Anything bigger than 18 really shouldn't be put on our trucks.

My personal favorite wheels are TRD Faux Beadlocks.. These are 400 a piece if you can find them for sale. But I loveeee them.. just can't spend 1600 on a set of rims. You can find cheap rims though.

Also, look for an aluminum rim instead of a steel rim. This is unsprung weight, meaning an aluminum rim will preform better on the road and will save you money on gas. Steel will be cheaper, but isn't great...


Another tip would be. Make your titles of your threads more specific. If you asked which rims you should get, you'd probably have 5 pages of people telling you why you should get the same ones as them. But your vague title is easy to skip over.
