Black steelies

Hey fellas, i'm still debating between powdercoating my TRD off-road wheels gunmetal grey, or going with a set of cheap black steelies. I still havn't decided so i need some steel wheels to look at. What brand do you guys recomend for somethng cheap for off-roading?

 

here ya go man, good prices, and the rock crawlers would look sick on your truck man!!!

if you really are wanting to stick with an all black theme for your tacoma, this is the way you should go bro, imo!!

 

If you’re going to get new wheels do it right. Cheap wheels always look cheap; you'd be better off waiting, saving and getting a good set.

 

but if he's getting the steelies for off roading, why buy a nice set of wheels that are gonna get all scuffed and scratched?

 

I have never cared about having nice wheels. I don't like shiny things, i like the rugged "im gonna chew you up and spit you out look". I don't want a pretty boy truck, i want one that looks like its actually capable of doing something. Like the truck in the banner at the top, i love those wheels. I could never justify spending more than $60 on a wheel, especially when the ones that came on my truck cost twice that.

 

thanks for the link tacomaman, i really like those, i was also looking at a similar pair on 4wheelerparts.com..... i think thats the site.... anyway, thats exactly what i'm looking for if i decide not to powdercoat mine

 

Here are some other ones that I am looking at (Black Steelies).

 

Yup, thats the site i was looking at, i was looking at those exact wheels, either in 16 or 17 inch. i love the way those look on a black truck

 

In my humble opinion - Good choice!

 

If you buy some of Toyota's cheap truck steel wheels, you will know that they are hubcentric versus some cheap lugcentric aftermarket wheels that will probably cause you to have vibrations.

 

Im going with the 16 inch black steelies Rock Crawler - Series 152 Black
on my new black 07 4dr taco sr5 prerunner.

 

I don't know about that. I am having more issues with out-of-balance tires on my Tacoma than I have had on any other vehicle, and it is stock all the way around.

 

007Tacoma:
Are you still using the stock tires or did you upgrade tires like you said that you wanted to a while back ???

 

Tires could be defected. The Dunlaps are 50 bucks. Could be one reason why they are not a balanced as your used too. I have 400 miles on trk and no problems yet. knock on wood.

 

Yeah, I have the Dun-Flops. I am taking it to the dealership today to talk to them about switching out the tires for something else (hopefully something covered under the 100K mile warranty that I stupidly bought).

No, I didn't upgrade - unfortunately. I want to keep the warranty (free tires for first 100,000 miles) since I obviously drive enough for it (20K in first 7 months)

 

007Tacoma:
Since you are still using the stock wheels & tires, I would say that you either have a defective wheel (out of round or warped), defective tire or unbalanced combination. And yes, I would have the dealer check it out because you should not being have vibration problems at only 20k from any worn components.
