    Anyone have a photo comparison of steel vs alloy wheels for the 2016? I am looking an SR5 and the dealer only has it with the optional appearance package which includes alloy wheels and colored keyed over fenders

    Not only now, but in a few years the alloys will look even better next to a set of rusted steel rims.

    These are the ones that came with my truck. Just to verify are these steel or alloy?

    Eye up the weight of each. Heavier add's rolling resistance = worse MPG

    Those are the steelies. They're about 29lbs a piece. IMO, they suck.

    Are steels good to have on winter tires for extra weight?

    This may be a little off topic but does anyone know how big can you go on the TRD OR without rubbing. Saw someone with 265/75/R16 with no rubbing even while wheeling. Is this pretty much maxed out on stock suspension?
