    In a way, kinda what I was going for. Nothing flashy. The Methods I had originally chosen were all black, but they didn't have them in 17's and the 18's were against the calipers. So went with these instead. Still determining what I'm gonna do to the front. Going to get it dirty here shortly.

    These are the wheels I was originally gonna go with. Didn't work out unfortunately, because I REALLY like these in 17".

    Here it is cleaned up after getting a little dirty the other day. Dipped the badging. Still have to deal with some overspray. I suck at painting, even with a rattle can. Will probably remove the badging on the tailgate this weekend.

    when i worked at toyota last year, we did a tacoma with 6" lift, 18" wheels, and 35's. it got 8-10 mpg and it was so slow.

    The first wheels look good! Just slap some spacers on it and it should fit

    just saying, it sucked to drive. felt severely underpowered. maybe thats a better way to describe it. they had it priced at $42,000 too. i wouldnt be surprised if they still have the truck on their lot, haha

    You would be amazed at who would buy that. The basic 6 inch lift they installed marked the truck up 8 grand. The same lift at a 4x4 shop is 2 grand installed.

    in defense of the Taco tho, when installing the lift and that large of a tire some things "need" to be changed as the truck was not built to handle either of those things, really just gearing is enough to make a noticeable difference but there are several different things that can ultimately make the truck run better than when it was stock :cool:

    Good thing I won't be doing any autocross and mud racing then, since it's "so slow".

    17"s were on the calipers. 18"s of that model weren't in stock so went with option 2 which are what's on it now (XD Series). May go back to the Methods after some time cause I think its a better looking wheel.
