    Will 2nd gen wheels fit on a 1st gen? This has probably been asked before, but i couldn't find it. Thanks in advance:)

    2nd gen wheels will fit the first gens, but for some reason, and im not sure why, the first gen tacoma wheels dont fit the 2nd gen tacomas too good.

    they will look badass blacked out!!

    prep them the right way, and use an etching primer before you paint, and they will stay looking good for a long time!!
