    What do you guys think? Yanked my Dunlop 245/75/16's off for Goodyear 265/60/18's on brand new rims. What do you think? I think it turned out pretty clean! :D 18's are perfect, showy rims with just enough sidewall. Now I just need some tire shine and wash them all up! :)

    One question. Why do some of the wheels have lots of weights and others have just one? Is that a rim defect or is it normal?

    Looks good. How's the ride compared to stock?

    Thanks. I notice a big difference in handling to be honest. Going from 16 to 18 is definitely a big improvement. It's less "squishy" around corners and over bumps, and very responsive.

    I have 18's and think they are the best look/fit for Tacoma's, maybe that's why Toyota put them on the Limited's :thumbsup:

    Agreed. I asked how much those were, he said they're not worth it put it that way, like thousands of dollars for 4.
    Weird thing I noticed about those Limited ones though, they use 55/R18 instead of 60/R18. Tire calculator says 60/R18 is pretty much right on the money in diameter vs stock. Not sure why they made the low-pro look, not quite enough sidewall for me on them.
