    I personally am not really a fan of any of those, but it all depends on the style you are going for. Have you though about any of the factory wheels, possibly from a FJ or tundra? You can get some classic styling in a 17 that could look pretty good on a 2wd desert sand.

    Edit... hmmm just remembered its a 5 lug. Crap.

    I think all black wheels looks best on that color. Add some tinted windows and blacked out badges and it'd look awesome. (just my personal preference)

    I think black wheels would look best, but no idea where you'd find ones for a 5 lug. Maybe plasti-dip the ones you have and see if you like the look?

    Yes, it's basically a rubberized spray paint. If you don't like it, you can peel it off.

    In reference to the tint, 35% will still look a whole lot better than stock clear windows.

    You can normally get away with darker, depending the state your in. In WA legal is 35, but I've had 15 on all my vehicles with no problems!
