    Want to put different wheels on it and would like to keep the stock tire diameter. I'm Not against going up in rim size but I don't want a taller overall final product. I was thinking about the TRD SEMA wheels in anthracite or black but I'm not too sure how either will look against the MGM. Thoughts??

    These wheels are pretty cool and I was actually thinking about getting a set for my Taco. I already have some 17" Duratracs and didn't wanna buy new tires for a new wheel diameter.

    You definitely won't notice that difference in weight at all. 3lbs each is about as much as a soup can

    Every bit helps. It also depends on the tire, I wanted to run KO2s, which in 16" wheel size weigh 8lbs more than the 17" C-load wheel size, making the total difference for me 11lbs. A huge amount.
