    I'm looking for wheel ideas for my 2001 Radiant Red Taco. The truck currently has a 2.5" leveling kit underneath it and I just bought some 265.75r16 Cooper Discoverer AT3s for it.

    My options currently are either a set of TRD Trail Teams wheels in black or a set of Dick Cepek Torque wheels in black. I'm not opposed to other colors or styles wheels but those are the 2 styles I've seen so far that I like. I actually like polished wheels too but they are such a pain to keep clean I'm a little hesitant to pop on them.

    I'm also curious if you guys think I should go black or white walls on the lettering?

    Let me know what would look good on a red 1st gen because I don't see many of them rolling around these parts. Everybody has 2nd gen trucks.

    Thanks in advance!

    I'm not sure if you can still get these wheels but this is how I had mine setup back in the day.

    I'm not a fan of the F5s but I do love gunmetal. I don't know why there aren't more manufacturers putting out gunmetal wheels for trucks. Doesn't make sense.

    Relentless Armored! Too many others to list.
    Check out Raceline wheels. Reasonably priced and they have some nice designs. I like the monster and raptors, I've got their monsters in black on my 4 runner, thinking of getting a matching set for my Tacoma
