    those are a little to crazy for a stock looking tacoma IMO

    on a scale from 1-10 i'd give them a 4.

    if you put more black on the red taco i could see it looking better... i.e. black badges, tinted windows, bhlm, tinted tails... etc.

    I actually have the tinted windows, 3" lift, and black halo projectors in the front.... I also have partially debadged and did custom USMC badging on the side.

    I like them. With your setup I think they would look nice. Definitely unique and you shouldn't run into anyone with the same ones.

    I remember seeing one real similar on a thread here in the past few days. Some guy posted 3 or 4 rims (one was the XD revolver) he was considering and someone posted a larger pic of a wheel that looked real close to the one you are looking at. I couldn't find it though

    I WANT THESE WHEELS SO BAD!!! I have looked through 1000's of wheels and these are by far my favorite. Only problem is my wife hates them. And you know what they say "If momma aint happy no bodys happy". She did say they wouldnt be as bad if I could get them in all black. I think the red is what bothers her.

    Here is a pic from the photoshop thread of what I want my truck to look like.

    LOL - You guys are hilarious... Thanks for all of the vote and opinnions. I just saw these and thought they looked decent on a Red Taco. I'm also looking at the ProComp 7089's and the ATX Thugs....

    There are ok, just not something I would choose.

    If YOU like them, go for it. Isn't that what really matters?

    But of course... BUT, I don't want to get something that looks ridiculous either. I don't want to roll up to work one day and run into my boss in the parking lot... Know what I mean?

    They look better in picture than in person. Theres a guy by my house who used to run that exact setup and he hated the look after two months.
