Best rims for a 5 lugger

What are the best rims for a 5 lugger tacoma... I want black rims preferably, but i want to make sure that they ride well, because my dad had a bad expierience with after-market rims that i dont want to repeat

 

For what application? Street driving or offroading? What size are you wanting? If your offroading, what kind? Rock crawling, mudding, etc...

 

Just street use... Preferably 16" with some nice size tires...

 

Go with some x runner wheels...16in is too small imo.

 

I would love x- runner rims, but I can never find any near me to buy

 

highlander alloys look pretty good IMO, but they're not black...

They don't come with center caps.

 

Yeah if going for a street look, I would say 18's or 20's.

16's with some aggressive tires if going for the offroad look.

 

im not really going for the "street look" im just saying i wont really be off roading... I'd like to have the aggressive look, but im limited because i have a 5 lugger

 

That's no excuse. This is 5-lugger:

yeah but he has a ton of other stuff too...such as the ready lift kit

 

I guess I wouldnl't classify a spacer lift as "a ton of other stuff" but nonetheless, you can see that the rims and tires he has gave him a nice, aggressive look.

 

And here's a another 5-lugger, without a lift, that looks pretty damn good.

I've seen 5 lugs with lifts and drop kits with some pretty awesome wheels. If you don't do much offroad driving, I would run an 18" wheel.

Thanks! I like the look and functionality of my truck. The KM2s is an amazing tire.


OP, do you plan on putting bigger tires on your truck?

 

yes i am....an option i was thinking about was to paint the stock/base rims black...get the ready lift kit...and get some 31x10.5xR15 tires

 

08WhiteTaco installed the readylift and mounted 31s on stock steelies, he has some rubbing on the sway bar. Also, I don't recommend mounting a wide tire on a narrow wheel. The center of the tire tread will wear much faster. I suggest you run the recommended rim width from the tire manufacture.

 

so what would be a good tire size on the base...30's? 29's
