    Hello, Back in 1995 I bought my first Toyota Tacoma and I loved it. Especially the graphics on the side because it just made the truck stand out just that much more. I unfortunately got rid of it in 2002 and almost got a new one back in 2010 but I was aware that my company was downsizing and what if I lost my job could I handle that big of a car payment without my amazing job I had so I got something else. So I've always been searching but didn't plan on getting another one as quickly as I did. I bought a 2009 Toyota Tacoma Extended Cab 4x4 and overall I love it. There are no graphics and I'm tempted to pay tribute to my 1995.5 Tacoma with the graphics. Does anybody know where I can buy them and a decent price? Another thing I want is rims and I'll probably keep them 16 inch but I want aluminum alloy because with the truck being black I don't like the rims to be black too. I'd love to have older rims because they look better than the ones that were an option to go on the Tacoma but I'd take just about anything over the plain steel rims but I don't want to get taken either. How do you know if rims are good other than seeing dents and stuff on them? Where can I get rims that aren't outrageously priced? Truck is at dealership being fixed now, one side needs new wheel bearings and thankfully it's under my extended warranty. I know the other side will have to be changed but I know they won't automatically change it until they go bad. Any information anybody can provided me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    truck.jpg web_truck.jpg No one can answer any of my questions? 1) Can older Tacoma Rims work on newer Tacomas? 2) How can you tell if the rims are decent? (Other than looks) 3) No one has any ideas on where to get 1995 1/2 Vinyl Graphics so I can put them on my 2009 Tacoma?

    Todd gimme a min and I'll find the guy on here who was selling a "retro" vinyl pack. Looked pretty good too.

    FYI you may get some people chiming in saying they don't like graphics. Your money, your truck bud!
