    I've been salivating for weeks over which wheels to slap on my silver dcsb. I've narrowed it down to three wheels, coincidentally in different sizes. I'd like your input/experience/suggestions if you have any positives to share. I like deep lip wheels but I also think the TRD 17" wheels look good in gray. I've had my eye set on the FN five stars for a while. My all-time favorite wheels is the classic slotted mag. I've only found one TW member rolling on slotted mags. Anyway, take a gander and share your knowledge:

    17" TRD gray like The Gray Rider:

    16" FN Wheels Five Stars bronze:

    or 15" slotted mags, painted dark gray like Rozz:

    Slotted mags are my all-time favorite wheels of FOREVER. I wonder what a 15x10 would look like on a 2nd Gen Tacoma. Also, what size tire do you slap on a 15x10 wheel? I don't want to be rolling on donuts.

    Whatever I pick will be going on this with a 2.5" Billy 5100 lift from Headstrong:

    No. It means they are far and away better looking than the other two options listed. In my opinion of course.
