Considering wheel swap - traditional to more modern

Hey guys. I've been running the Rota Grid X Offroad 16x8s for a year or so now. Overall, great looking wheels and unique. The flat face, lip and no fauxlocks are a more traditional wheel design.

I've been contemplating going to something more modern and these KMC Impacts caught my eye. I like how they are a little chunkier and look like a more modern wheel without the fauxlock that I like. I also like how they contrast the paint a little bit. Granted, they look like a PITA to clean.

Original wheels below, chopped Impacts on top. What do you think? What other more modern wheel might look good?

 

I understand the itch to try something new but personally I’d stick with the setup that you currently have. I’ve seen your truck many times on this forum and Instagram and I always do a double-take when I see your wheels. They may be more traditional but they are a unique design that I haven’t really seen anywhere else. If I remember correctly you had them custom painted and they look great.

 

Thanks! Ya I think for me the truck is a little monochromatic and I'm not sure how to break it up. It's all black and grey. It looks a little drab. I kind of wanted a wheel to pick up the chrome from the grille and headlights and contrast the truck.

 

In terms of some wheel ideas that are non-faux beadlock and 2-tone, RRW has some interesting wheels designs where you can get a matte gunmetal wheel and a black lip.

 

I'll look those up! Thanks.

 

I did pull the trigger on the KMC impacts. I saw enough examples including silver wheels on cement. I'm excited to be the Tacoma guniea pig for these. They come in Monday and I'll post pics.

 

Definitely a nice looking wheel and different too. What are the specs?

 

They're 16x8 0 offset and 106.25mm center bore; these are made for Toyotas specifically which is cool.

 

If anyone likes the Rotas coming off, they'll be off next week and I'll post a few add

 

Would have been interested if they were 17s, love the look of those wheels. Plus I just put a new set of wheels on, it’s an addiction haha!

 

It is an addiction. It will usually take me a few sets to get it how I like it.

 

Well one box showed up haha.

 

Almost there now....

 

I like how just a hint of the silver lip can be seen from just behind.

 

Those wheels really do look good. Nice choice!

 

Ok final. This turned out amazing. Love the setup. I'm not sure I can top this one for my tastes.
