Which route would you take between Wheels RRW RR-2H vs. Falcone TX Titan?

I’ve got a 4th Gen Tacoma Off-Road Premium in Celestial Silver, and I’m trying to decide on the right set of wheels for it.

To be honest, it’s going to be more of a pavement princess than a full-time trail rig, but I do plan to take it out occasionally to explore Oregon’s beautiful trails—and it’ll also have to deal with cold, snowy winters.

I’ve already settled on running Falken Wildpeak AT4W tires in 285/70/17 Load SL.

As for wheels, I’m leaning toward something in Gunmetal, since I think that pairs really nicely with the Celestial Silver paint.

These are the two options I’m considering:

• Falcon TX Titan – 17x9 with -12 offset
  
  
• RRW RR2-H – 17x8.5 with 0 offset
  

I’m looking for a balance between aesthetics and practicality—I don’t want to deal with a bunch of trimming or rubbing issues, but I do like the wider, more aggressive stance of a negative offset.

Has anyone run a similar setup on their Tacoma? Any feedback or recommendations would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

 

IMO, -12 is going to look disproportionate with 285/70r17 tires. The tires are too small and skinny for an offset that aggressive. If you're going to run 35x12.50's or something bigger and wider I think it can look good (go see the SCS wheel thread with lots of pictures of 0 and -10 offset). I personally think 0 offset is the most aggressive I would go with the tires you want to run. I'm running +25 offset with Falken 285/70r17 and it feels right/proportional for the truck and tire size.

 

I like the look of the RRWs better

 

I like them both. But RRW on the Tacoma. The Falcons remind me of wheels on a Charger/Challenger.

 

I’m biased towards RRW…

 

And gunmetal on your truck is going to get lost. Usually dark wheels don’t look that great as you can’t really see the details of the wheels as clearly.

 

RRW

 

“I really like the way the front of your Tacoma is angled

 

This is my truck — in your opinion, what color wheels would look good on it if I went with RRW?

 

What do you mean?

 

Honestly black and gunmetal wheels are a dime in a dozen. Everyone has them and it’s nothing special. Plus you can see the details of the wheels as it’s too dark.

If I had your silver color truck then I’d get brushed aluminum wheels

 

really like the way the front suspension dips forward in this pic — that slight rake with the rear sitting a bit higher looks great.

 

Oh yeah that’s because I didn’t level it. I also prefer the factory rake.

 

This is stunning.

I am on the opposite side as Taco Ji. I have always liked Black and Gunmetal wheels. I think the Gunmetal would look really good on Silver. I almost bought those same wheels, I decided to paint the OEM wheels black instead and save a few bucks.
It is really what you prefer, you gotta drive your truck!
I also like the factory rake.

 

RRW ALL DAY!

 

I think the spoke wheels (RRW) are dated and look better on early gen trucks. Toyota went with a wheel that has trapezoid shapes for the 4g (and similarly styled 3g Tundra) and the Falcons are a variation of that.

 

You say outdated, I say classic.

 

OP asked for opinions, I know I am in the minority. Same with me thinking wheels/tires should never poke outside the fenders.

 

It’s all preference. I bet you also sit when you pee. All preference bud.

 

Good one. Did you come up with that on your own or did you ask Chat GPT? Did I insult you with my opinion which I guess is different than a preference?
