My name is Ken. I know my taco is base SR5 with go cart wheels. I'm an Air Force vet, and a civilian A&P mechanic. I am now disabled so $$ are limited. What options do I have with regards to the small 15" wheels without going too broke? I need to compromise with looks vs mpg. I currently get 28 hwy. any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks. I'm not new to Toyota product. My first Toyota 78 long bed. Now my wife has '15 Rav 4 and I have taco. I was stationed at Nellis (Tonopah) until '92. Good to talk to someone from NV!

If you are broke, toss some wheel covers on it and run it til the factory tires are gone.
