    Sup Taco family!

    I'm thinking about treating myself to some new rims and upgrading to a 16" from my stock 15". In a perfect world, I would get a wheel that doesn't add any weight to my truck since I'm a fan of my current mpg number. I understand that by increasing the height and width of my wheel that I will hurt my mpg #, but at this point I'm fixated on changing the wheel.

    I've been looking at this option, but not sure if it will fit properly with the bore size, if I'm adding unnecessary weight, or any other details/options i might have overlooked. Any advice or photos of a similar truck would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance, this forum has saved me a lot of trouble in the past and I'm grateful for the taco community.

    so those wheels are somewhat heavy, but not much worse than the stock steel wheel, and as long as you have a similarly sized tire you should be just fine.
    ive a set of those but the ProComp version on my other winter beater and they are a classic nascar looking wheel

    Thanks for the input man, appreciate it. I like the simplicity of the style and I'm a big fan of the price. Any recommendations for a lighter option, if any?

    you know not really on weight wise, might be worth finding the weight of your stock wheel and tires and measuring that against the weight of those wheels and tires you plan on putting on but you're probably not going to notice a massive difference not like you're going from say a 14lb racing wheel to some 80lb chrome spinners or anything.

    look at ProComp, Rough Country see who's less expensive i found my ProComps from a small offroad shop from Texas on Ebay paid 49.99 each wheel on sale, but 70ish for those isn't bad right now.

    Just looked at these wheels last night but look like they're 5 lug? Definitely looking for a cost effective black or gold wheel to replace these stock steel wheels...

    Yeah I have a 2.7l and they come with the 15" wheels but I want something just a little bit taller. I actually like the look of the stock wheels but not a fan of the dimensions
