TRD Beadlocks + 3RD Gen Tacoma

Anyone have a black tacoma with the bronze trd beadlock rims? Great deal locally for a set right now, hesitant on purchasing them..need some convincing!

 

Did you put the bolts in that hold on the rings, or leave those out?

 

Left them out, nost rust or corrosion inside of the thread. I dont plan on putting the rings back on either

 

Went with gunmetal. First choice was black, but I noticed you can’t see black wheels clearly unless you are right up on them. Anyway, very happy with grey.

 

Does anyone have a Cement with the grey wheels?

 

Truck looks great! I just ordered a set of bronze bead-locks for my cement DCLB. What did you end up doing with your center caps? Right not I'm thinking of having them powder coated when I do the rings stain black. It think it might contrast better with the bronze wheel than the natural aluminum. I don't think I'll try to replicate the "TRD" in red, just leave "embossed".

 

Awesome! And double points for taking decent (not backlit) photos! It's so hard to tell with most of these images... I also really dig the extra orange grill badge!

 

Also would like to see this. I was dead set on getting some pro wheels (either older or the 2020 ones) but looked into the beadlock style and now I am thinking either black or gunmetal. They look so good with AND without the rings

Damn you TW!!!!

 

Ordered some grey ones on Friday and they should be here tomorrow! I'm excited and can't wait to get them mounted up!

 

Anyone have these with a non aggressive tire? Like honestly I’m looking at getting the black beadlock rims but have pretty much decided on getting Michelin defender LTX M/S tires for my truck. Wondering how these would look with those tires

 

Yeah, I'm not quite at the point to order yet, but I'm torn between these (without the chrome ring) and the Ray 10s... I think those two are the best looking options out there. especially since a 16-inch wheel is a priority for me.

 

The selling point for me besides them being OEM quality was that you can remove the ring. I'm debating on whether or not to paint the rings but I just want to get them installed. Hahaha!

 

My beadlock rings are still at the powder coater. Anxiously waiting.

 

Here's a few pics of my gray wheels on my SSM. I painted the trim ring and center cap satin black, then used TVD vinyls for the center cap letters (SSM to match!).

 

They look great! Did you have the tires mounted before installing the rings? I get mine back tomorrow. I'm planning on going to Discount Tire, hopefully they will remove my old TPMS, install the tires, let me install the rings (I don't love the idea of them install the beadlock rings), and then balance. Thanks!

 

Thanks! Yes, I had Discount Tire mount/balance and do the TPMS swap without the trim rings and center caps - did those myself and no issues from DT. Can't wait to see yours when done. Be sure to share your pics!

 

Love the classic look of these wheels. Just wish there was larger diameter sizes than 16".

 

Also just curious if any of you have had to have these wheels rebalanced after taking the rings off or adding them on. I imagine that it wouldn’t make much of a difference as it’s very small percentage of weight. If I get them I don’t want to have to get them done twice if I change my mind about looks lol
