    You need another option like other.

    I do like the bronze and black look, but I'm not sure I like the those wheels with the bronze.

    bronze looks sick man, the black is way overplayed and the green pinstripe will make them look kind of bro in my opinion. With a black truck I think you should keep the bronze but try to integrate it into more parts of the truck. For example you could maybe rebadge your truck (with bronze painted emblems), get some amber/gold lenses for the lights behind your grill (this will also improve their light quality as fogs or in the snow (Vermont)), or you could paint your trd skid bronze!

    Don't know that I necessarily like it, but I still say keep it because it's different.

    loving all the input guys! what if i just paint the passenger side wheels black, and leave the drivers side bronze lol best of both worlds! i hate to paint and waste the money too. i honestly want new wheels but cant spare the funds for it right now.

    Tough call. You can't go wrong with black but it's getting pretty common these days, plus the bronze looks pretty good with the black.

    Tacoma is stock and staying that way, Pickup is TBA as of now.
    I've never liked blacked out wheels, when they are moving it just looks like a solid black tire imo. Bronze is something I've never seen on a Tacoma, I say keep it that way.

    I think your over the bronze...do something totally different and have them bead blasted, then coated with a 5-10% clear...I've seen this on a road racing bicycle and it was pretty impressive...

    To me,it depends on the wheel style. I would rather have them black with those wheels than bronze.
