    I have a Stormtrooper Tacoma, but for some reason I just don't like black rims. I don't like how they just blend in with the tires. I'm thinking about making a switch to a bronze wheel, but have only really found one design I like that is already bronze.

    FN wheels makes a wheel I like, it's matte bronze.

    I also like Method Race Wheels "The Standard" but they only offer Matte Black or the Machined.

    Powdercoating those bronze wouldn't be a big deal, but long story short what wheel do you guys think would look better, I'm at a 50/50 tie.

    Yeah, bronze wheels are badass! Pick some up so you can become a badass too!

    I've always liked that truck ^

    I have those Konig Countersteer in Matte Bronze. In real like they are pretty dark. I like 'em! I know lots of guys like black wheels, but they do nothing for me either.

    I don't mind those either.

    I just have to figure out what tire size to run, which is beyond confusing.

    Ehh I'm over them. Or colored wheels in general. Only silver, dark grey or chrome for my tacoma. But a lot of my influence is from the early 2000's and the honda scene. Just outgrew it but still have the love for real Japanese wheels. Hopefully the VW trends don't catch on here :p
