    Oh I forgot - Once again - the position of the valve stems SUCK :eek: for wheeling!!!. Within hours of mounting these rims, I rubbed up against a rock and broke off the TPS stem. If you are doing anything more than climbing snow banks in the local mall, get a wheel that sets the valve stem back further in the wheel's dish.

    BTW - the TPS will work with these wheels. Edit: As he makes a pressurized container for his broken and good TPS valves! :(

    I voted for the pro comps in the list but those pro comp 7028 beadlocks sure look nice, even though for my barcelona red truck i might choose a shiny wheel.

    I live near Summit Racing. I bought those wheels and took them home. They did not fit the front. Not even close. They were hitting the calipers and I would have needed a huge spacer. FYI

    2007 Tacoma Base 4x4. I bought them at the Summit in Tallmadge, OH. They warned me there was a possibility that they may not clear but I chanced it. I took them the and NTB and had them dry run the left front. I needed at least an inch more clearance. When I took them back the salesman told me that the Cragars are junk anyways. He told me the steelies that come on the Tacoma are twice as nice so just powder coat them. So I found a "apparently drive by night"" powder coater who coated them and then promply went out of business before he could honor the guarantee on the wheels. His coating was literally falling off. At the time I didnt think I could find a set of wheels that would fit. So my dad runs a fabrication shop and sandblasted them and zinc primed them for me and then I had my wifes uncle's body shop paint them up for me. It didnt cost me anything to have them blasted primed and very little to have them painted black. The problem is that I keep losing the stupid ass center caps and the stock steelies look dumb without the caps. Im tired of buying and painting the caps and dumping money into the stock wheels. So Im pretty sure that the Konig Countersteer offroads have the proper shape to clear the calipers. Im probably going to put those on in the spring. I know far too much info but I thought I would tell my story. The moral of it is just find a set of am wheels and be done with it.

    They were my second choice...they are more gray than black though.

    You mean someone noticed I got my wheels already?
