    So, I was looking at getting some SCS F5 wheels here in the next month and found out that they are going to have them in white at the end of March. My question is, does anyone have pictures of white wheels on a black tacoma? I google searched "Black tacoma with white wheels" and only found one picture, so I'm just looking for more pictures or opinions.

    I'd like to see some to, but am not expecting much; black wheels on everything is the current rage.

    In terms of opinions, I will say that what you describe sounds very 70's. Big wheels and fat tires might make it work though.........

    These are the wheels that I'm looking at. I just have a soft spot for white wheels, had them on my old 350z. Brake dust isn't a big concern, I have some spray that I used on the white wheels on my z that just eats brake dust then you spray it down and its all gone.

    White wheels on a black Tacoma just seems like white socks with a tux...


    There are some vehicles that look good with white wheels. Not sure a Tacoma would be one of them, though, unless it was a Storm Trooper.
    Just my $.02 opinion, though. Do what you want and think looks good, fuck what everybody else thinks. :D

    White wheels on black trucks were very popular in the late 80's for some reason. My Grandfather had a 1988 black reg cab Toyota pickup. 3" lift with 33's, white wheels and white walls. I always liked the look...

    Probably should have added that all of my badges are already white. Everything else on the truck is black. Windows blacked out, BHLM and everything.

    Do it, man. You can always paint 'em or sell 'em if you don't like the look, but dare to be different. The blue truck in the link above looks good IMO, I think the white accessory bars really bring the look together. Don't be held back just because everyone likes black on black on black right now. Make the truck yours.

    ETA: Whatever you do, just make sure to get the damned thing dirty as often as possible. All trucks look better when dirty.

    Anything can look good if done well. I haven't seen many examples of white wheels on Tacomas but your google search terms will help a lot here. Try "white rims tacoma" and forget the color of the truck. You'll get more results to look at.

    Please take before spray, after spray, 1000 miles after spray, after first hose down pictures.

    Love to 'see' how it works. Or not.

    Maybe try some PAM on one wheel too. Just to compare.

    maybe white plasti dip one of your OE wheels (or your spare?) to get a bit of feel for how you might like the contrast.
