    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Lighter weight, better acceleration, easier on the suspension and brakes plus better fuel economy.

    When I put the wheels on my truck it changed the whole look of my truck, for the better I think.

    Mine is a 2nd Gen but I was on the edge of buying new black wheels or dipping mine black and using that saved money for other mods. Here's mine. I'm happy for now. I will eventually get wheels but it'll be when my stock tires wear out. 20160310_183856.jpg

    That looks good. What size tires do you have on those limited wheels. Will 265/70/17 work well with limited wheels

    Pro Comp Nitro 3" Front 1" Rear level kit - $280
    TRD Pro 4Runner rims - $800
    Yokohama Geolander AT 285/70/17 - $800 (with alignment)

    No rub at all with this setup.

    Probably the best thing you can do is give it a subtle lift and some bigger tires. Makes the truck look so much better.

    I love these Geolander tires. Havent taken them off road yet but my buddy that manages a tire shop has them on his truck and said they are pretty damn good off road.

    Daily driven, the tires feel like stock. Very quiet road whine at freeway speeds but its not that noticeable. No wobble like the meatier off road tires give.

    I do like those TRD Wheels. I don't think I want to pay for them though.

    Ok, I appreciate everyone's input. I think I'm just going to use the money on other accessories. I don't think I want to buy $800 of wheels, then buy TPMS to go with, get reprogrammed... etc. etc.

    I think I'll just stick some tires on it, camper top, Ham radio, onboard compressor, rock sliders. I might paint the wheels, but we'll see.
