    I don't think that's his truck.

    Looks like black wheels are winning the poll 4 to 1.

    Not a fan of those rim/wheel combinations on regular tacomas.
    The X-runners are obviously exceptions.
    Black or beadlock look are tops IMO

    black wheels are the style right now and it really depends on the color of your truck and how much chrome or monocromatic pieces you have on your truck. for exapmle, my truck is white and the bumpers, door handles, and all trim is white ( monocromatic ) so I think that black looked best on my truck. But with a tan truck, chrome would probably be my choice. good luck :)

    Stylistically, black. If you're getting a steel wheel, go chrome because that will better protect the wheel itself. It really depends on your personality and the personality of the truck. I Plast-derped mine in October, and they're still holding up and look good. I peeled the emblem so it's chrome. If you're on the fence just look until you find the perfect set. Personally I like KMC's new enduro fake beadlock they have.
