    I know that it's not "much", but I FINALLY got the steelies off my truck. I really like the look of the TRD off road rims and put these on yesterday. It's amazing how much better it looks.

    Found these from a local guy by the way. 200 miles on them and got them for $250. Before and after pics...

    I agree! Much better look. I was just up in NH for a couple of weeks and it is big Tacoma country up there. I would say a majority of the trucks I saw up there sported the steelies. No offense to anyone, but I don't like the look. Good luck with your rig. Looks good!

    Thanks everybody. Every time I look at it, I get all excited. New tires would finish its off, but again, waiting til these wear out.

    KMWF, keep looking. You will find a set.

    And maybe I'm just crazy, but the ride feels less spongy with these wheels. Pretty sure that they're wider than the steelies so maybe the side walls have less flex? I'm probably just so stocked that I have them that I'm feeling things...

    That's probably exactly what it is. Same as after on oil change.

    First of all, BEAUTIFUL truck! Looks like you pulled that from a Toyota brochure. I'm thinking of going with a lighter graphite. I like the contrast with a black truck.

    Ask about the low gloss powder coat. Its easier to keep clean.

    Mine cost about $60 each to get sand blasted and powder coated.
