Older wheels.

I'm thinking of putting a set of older wheels on my Tacoma to be different. I've never really liked the split 3 spokes before now. They came on the older 4Runners. I have access to a set that's in nice shape, and I'm thinking about throwing them on my 2007. I photoshopped a set, and I'd like some opinions. I, personally, don't like the stock TRD Off Road set that's on it now. I googled the truck picture, but it's nearly identical to mine.

 

I say if you like the look, go for it! It actually doesn't look bad, so points to creativity!

 

absolutely.
as long as you like it.

 

I'm getting 4 in perfect shape for $100 bucks. They're in much better shape than my stock wheels. Plus, they'll stick out just a bit more. I think I might like them.

 

...but the verdict is still out. Maybe I should throw a lift on while I'm at it. lol.

 

3rd Gen Wheels look pretty cool on our trucks too.

 

Uh oh, the potential is starting to show...

 

Do it and post pics!

 

Loved those wheels on my previous '97 4Runner. Wish someone would make a set that looks like them, but 17x8.5" with 4.5 bs, and 0 offset. I'd buy em!

 

Looks pretty good, I'm rather bored with my OEMs and I'm looking to switch mine up to. Though I've got my eye out for a set of 3rd gen wheels. Good luck

 

I really like those new Off Road wheels. I just don't want to spend a grand on them with the tires. I just have a good feeling that these split 3 spokes will compliment the truck. I like the deeper dish look more and more as I contemplate it. I'm picking the wheels up tomorrow. I figure, worst case, can always resell them if they look awful.

 

I don't think they'll look bad at all personally. My feeling is they are going to make it pop and stand out a bit from the norm which is always nice.

 

They look good. Go for it!

 

I believe these are 15 inch wheels. I don't think they will clear the calipers.

 

There were a 15" and a 16" version, as far as I know. I kept seeing both pop up from time to time on Craigslist. The ones I'm picking up are definitely 16" x 7 inch like my OEM wheels, but with less offset so they'll stick out more flush with the fenders.

 

They did come in both 15" & 16" and I was temped by a set a couple years ago but found some Tundra wheels and tires for much cheeper I wanted to try and see how they looked. I think they look decent but have a different direction in mind now, so glad I went with the cheeper set.

 

I think they're gonna look good I might even leave the factory finish on them. I have a couple of cans of the pewter grey that I can go over them with too, though, like in my first photoshop pic.

 

Test fitted them today. They rub the calipers by like 5 mm. Not too familiar with using spacers. Is it worth doing?

 

I don't like the idea of using wheel spacers, but that is just my humble opinion.

 

I don't think I do either. Seems like one more thing to go wrong to me. They sure would have looked nice though. He even said he'd take like 15 bucks a piece for them. Tempting.... After the spacers and headache, it seems much easier and economical to buy a set that fit.
