    Are you a poser? Only if you try to tell people you have a pro but don't actually.

    Even then who cares?

    Only the most decerning individuals would even know those aren't the stock wheels, and even fewer probably care.

    Those that do are just mad they paid too kuch for the exclusivity and aren't getting the recognition they thought they would for it.

    It's all just marketing wank anyways.

    If you like them get them.

    But know "mesh" wheels are a pain to keep clean.

    :thumbsup:

    No!!! If you like the rims get them. It's your truck and your money.

    I would make sure the rims are oem and not knockoffs, but it's your truck they'll look great!

    This is a good point, there’s a lot of knock off rims out there. I have the black TRD pros on my Tacoma and I love them. The rims in the pics in the Craigslist posting look a little too shiny, my pros are more of a matte sheen than glossy. Here’s a picture of mine that I got from a Toyota dealership:

    Very very few people even know the difference, and if you like them, get them! Heck, I’ve got 4Runner wheels on my PreRunner

    I have the pro bronze wheels and they look better than any other rims I’ve seen. If you like it get it.
