    ok so i purchased some procomp gloss black steelies. 15x8 and black lug nuts. the sales rep i spoke with said they have lots of fitment issues with 2000 tacomas cuz of the calipers, so he threw in some 3/8in spacers in case the wheels rub at all. i should have them next week sometime so i should be installing in the next 2 weeks then i will post pics. all together it cost me $280, free shipping since im picking up from their mesa store.

    hopefully they fit, if not im gunna be bummed.

    OK, so i put the wheels on lastnight and good news... they fit perfect! they really make the truck look so much better. i am very pleased with them. i should be taking some pics this weekend to post for yall. i didnt have to use those spacers either, im glad too cuz those looked like the wouldve been a nightmare to line up since they weren't bolt on ones.

    :D

    you got a black truck and if you painted them black then they would look killer bro!!!
    I hated my steelies before i painted them,then they looked great. Painting is a really good fix if you need one and your looking for a dif look for sure! do it and if not then go a dif route.
    didnt know you painted didn't see rest of post good luck and lets see!!!!!!!!!
