Ranchero & Celica lovechild = Series 1 Tacoma

I'm the proud owner of a "new to me" 1998 SR5 with a manual. My wife and I love this thing. The big windows remind her of her old Volvo 240. The handling, engine and gearbox remind me of my old Celica.

Mine is pretty much stock. It had two previous owners who took great care of it. It still has the steelies with hubcaps and the OEM am/fm cassette. I'm surprised at how durable the interior fabrics are. So here's the reversible upgrades I'd like to make:
- fitted seat covers. The fabric feels a bit coarse.
- a new headunit, but keep the old one in storage.
- wheels and tires. I'm sure there's appropriate 5-spoke wheels, up to 15" or maybe 16" with lower profile tires.

That's it. For my use, which is light hauling of modest motorcycles, this thing is perfect.
