    I like either the Ballistic or the ATX, mainly because they aren't solid black. I think for your vehicle, if you're going to go with a black rim, you need to have something to break it up. I'm not loving those ones, but when I think about the over all package, I think you need something besides solid or almost solid black. Or even powder coat grey (same shade as your Taco) would look good.

    Too often people fall in love with a wheel without thinking about how it looks on their particular vehicle. Have you played on Tirerack where they let you see the truck with the wheel?

    Oh, and I agree about the T03...they are HUGE compared to the other ones!

    I agree that people like wheels based off pics without seeing them on the truck... this is a pick of the atx on my exact truck just different tires, but close enough.
    17-american-racing-atx-artillery-teflon-_2a75b4648f2fee42a1ece3acee7a1b9f458b2c2d.jpg
    (Found on Google, don't know who's truck it is)

    As far as the Tuff being so much bigger... the original picture is of a 20" that why it looks great. When you see it in 17" (last pic in OP) then it looks stupid IMO. I'm thinking the ATX's right now, but I do agree the MGM would look better with some other light machining or polished to bring it out better. That's why I added the Ballistic Wizards but I guess those were a fail lol. I found ATX for $710 few shipping no tax brand new in 17's. I thinks its a great deal for those, but I wanna keep looking for a used set to save $$

    Stealth 6 looks just like that except without the decorative bolts, which are the only thing I don't care for on those.

    should be within the month I think?! Patience! It'll pay off! I'm pretty sure those are going for 660 with free shipping. It's a guess but it's an educated one based on the current group buy.

    Oh, and also minus the mudflaps, add a black tube step, black emblems, lightly tinted tails, and BHLM... and maybe a satoshi (still debating). and maybe tinted fogs too, cant decide on smoke, yellow, or crystal blue for the fogs

    Didn't know you had blacked out the emblems. In that case, a straight black would look better than I originally thought. Still think I like the idea of a little bit of non-black with the gray though. As for the tinted fogs, I'm not a big fan of anything that produces less light than originally designed for (as opposed to different light like the yellow). I used to run light covers on one of my old vehicles, and unless I never planned on leaving the city, I wouldn't do it again. In the city, I could pretty much drive with no lights (visibility issues aside). On the highway, I want as much light as possible. But part of that comes from driving cars a few inches off the pavement, and worrying about deer coming through the window for a big hello.

    I just put Procomp 7089's on my truck. It looks like you have BFG AT's as well. I have the exact same wheel and tire combo and I was able to find black extended thread lug nuts on wheelersoffroad.com that fit, if you're going for the black everything look. Looks great IMO

    i don't yet but it would be done right after the wheels got put on. But your right about having it too black. I think a little machining or something would help even it our on my color truck.







    do I have to get new wheel studs for those rims??


    I like 1 or 2 of them but I just don't think they go too well on my truck. Seem to be more of a full size truck wheel. They look better in 18" and 20" with a 6" lift rather than smashed 17's crammed under a leveled truck.
