    The last set of 4 I bought of the 15"x7" I bought I Paid $100.00 with tires at least 3/4 tread.

    As long as the wheels balance and the bead seals I could care less about cosmetic qualities .

    It seems so many no longer want the 15" wheels

    Some people are only focused on looks not suspension, 15’s give more suspension than any 17-20” wheels with rubber band tires. Rims like that may be popular now but will phase out like the dorks that used to put 32” rims on a suburban or Yukon, or phase out like fidget spinners. Anyone recall Sprewell spinning rims, lmfao. I can’t stand that stuff, to each their own I guess. This leaves more great priced wheels up for grabs to those in the know. The only reason I see for going big is you can fit tundra brakes, although it’s a trade off for shittier off road handling, due to lack off tire size, plus, price out 33” BFG tires for rims 16” and up, the prices go through the roof and often cost more than a set of TRD pro wheels. IMHO not really worth it, unless you drive mall parking lots mainly. My 33”/10.5 ko2’s are almost 900.00 bucks on 15’s and that’s with a deal. I could really use the tundra brakes but am not spending 2000+ bucks in wheels and tires for them.

    Drove for an hour Saturday morning to buy a set of AT tires with "500" miles on them on original double-spoke rims. Only $400. Looked like they had 500 miles left on them. What a waste of time. Found these on LetGo just 2 miles from my house. $100 for the full set! Small tires that will be replaced. The two decent ones will be sold. What should I do to them before getting new tires mounted?

    I traded these oxidized wheels of unknown origin and some 32x11.50 Yokahama Geolanders (that were weather checked) for these Toyota OEM wheels and Hancook Dynapro MT tires straight across about 5 years ago. I still have those tires on my pickup and they are holding up very well. Never had a flat in them either.

    oh yeah - and I got rid of those stupid ass clear tail lights. Straight through them in the garbage. Thanks to @boostedka I have some OEM tail lights on there ;)

    the first pic is the most 90s truck I've seen in a while haha. Wheels and tail lights really doing the work in the throwback department! Those wheels looks decent though! Maybe it's nostalgia.

    Well - I was born in the 80's and was totally a 90's kid so I suppose that fits! Those aftermarket wheels were so wide they punished the side of my pickup on a gravel road. Might of been a little cooler to me back in 96. lol
