    The steel wheels look good with the bigger tires. The AR 767s kind of remind me of the Cragar Soft 8s. The Soft 8s are like $40/wheel. You can go either way, but the steel wheels are a lot cheaper which means more money for the tires or other mods.

    Not sure. You might want to do some research on that. Personally, I have never had any experience with the steel wheels. A few TW members have them. Just try searching.

    I think the difference is the weight of the wheels. When I was shopping for wheels, I was looking for some light off-road wheels, I had my eye on some Pro Comp wheels that were 19 lbs. each. Steel wheels are strong and durable, hence they are heavy.

    How often will be taking your Tacoma off-road/wheeling?
