    I am looking for some new black wheels to put on my RED double cab. I want black wheels, right now currently I am leaning towards the Tuff A/T T01 with Red Inserts:

    But I am curious to other suggestions of other black wheels that look nice on a RED tacoma. They do not have to be fully black but I do like wheels to be mainly black. I would also prefer 18" wheels, but if there is a nice looking wheel that only comes in 16" or 17" that is fine.

    Just post what you guys like and Thanks in advance!

    I am planning in getting 18". However I have the 16x7 stock wheel and the T01 I want is 18x9 with a 10mm offset. Will this work with the Tacoma??? Will going to a wheel that big look wierd or anything?

    Here are some pictures of them on a red tacoma from someone else here:

    @BenYota Those look nice, I like the look of the flat spokes and good luck getting them.

    I think I have decided on 17" wheels over the 18" because from what I have read they ride smoother and are better for off roading. I was looking at the 18" wheels because they have better handling but after all its a truck.

    OP, the more I look at those t01's, the more I like them. I personally think the jesters are a little bit too flashy, but I think you're spot on with these wheels! Nice find!

    ^They look removable or else why would they have an allen key insert. Pretty sure you can change those out for different colors.

    Yes you can switch the inserts out for different colors, but you would also want to change the center's color if you changed the insert's color.

    I found the T01s in 17x8 with a +10mm offset and I am planning on buying them sometime this week. Thanks to everyone who posted their opinions on theses and other wheels, I like them all but I believe the red on this wheels will accent my truck very well.
