    I got a 2008 TRD "offroad road package" Tacoma that came with the original black rims. I'm debating if I shoud get rid of them and get the original aluminum rims that came on the TRD "sport package" Tacoma.

    I've got the sport rims....and I'll be painting them black as soon as I get them rebalanced with the weights on the inside.

    So I vote keep the blacks!!

    my truck itself is white, with the black tire fenders, so the contrast of black and white is really nice. However, I just bought some running boards that are chromed (i ordered black, but what I got was chromed, also the chromed ones were $50 more, so I kept it: paid for the black, but got the chrome). Anyway, I also ordered some side mirror caps that came in chrome. so now I have some chrome, some black and white. I thought maybe the rims would be nicer if it was aluminum instead of black.
