    Ive been looking around for the last couple days, googling, searching, etc.
    Perhaps its my verbage but I currently have 17" sport wheels and am considering going down to 16"
    i like these wheels however i cant find pics of them on a silver taco. Just silver ones
    I would go with the 265/75/16 tire size for sure.

    Anyone have them in black or the level 8 ones that are similar?

    Well at least i confirmed they will definitely fit through discount tire.
    Does anyone have any input?

    Not something that I would go with but in black, I think it will look good. Important thing is if you like them. Black wheels look good on the silver taco. Black TRD Beadlock is what I have now and I will be putting the those TRD wheels on my 2014 when it gets here.

    If i could find some oem FJ's in my area that would be one thing. But its almost impossible and ive been looking on and off for about 8 months.

    Its my own fault. Ive had mickey thompson classics or classic locks on all of my jeeps in the past so i guess im hooked on the style.

    Black is a definite.

    Its definetly going to be this wheel, the more i see the polished on silver the more im leaning towards it.

    If you feel torn between the aluminum or black route, get aluminum and plastidip them black and it will still be reversible if you change your mind.

    cvisinho - I am in the exact same boat. Have a silver sport, love that style, not sure if I want aluminum or black. Not sure if I want to go steel or aluminum. Somewhat of a budget, don't want to spend more than $125/wheel, and I also don't want to have the wheel stick out past the wheel wells.

    If so you should be able to order them directly from your Toyota dealer, that is what I did.

    Beware of rims with faux raised beadlocks. It is very difficult to mount/dismount tires on rims like this, as the "duckhead" tends to get snagged on the raised portions of the rim. An unskilled or hurried tech can do a number on those, particularly the plastic beads on the MB 352.

    I can't recall ever seeing that rim in person. It looks like the beads are slightly raised, but they also look metal and are a bit away from the lip of the rim. There's probably a very limited chance of damaging that rim during a tire change.

    Those FJ wheels are what i was looking for but brand new they are out of my budget. Ive got too many other projects and money draining shit going on.

    My problem is visual. I need to see it on my truck or at least a corny pic of it on discount tire or something to give me an idea. Id hate to fit them on and not like it.

    Sure i like the way those polished ones look but i like the slightly aggresive look of the MB 352. I just need to see it.
    Ill probably end up with 5100's this summer as well.

    Anyone good with photoshop?
