Tundra BBS Forged Wheels on 4th Gen Tacoma

You could sell your stock tires and / or wheels to re-coupe some of the costs. Thats what I am doing.

 

I would, but the craptastic steel rims with the plastic covers that SET put on won't net me much on the resale market, methinks. On the plus side, I won't mind beating the shit out of them and then buying sweeter ones when the tires need replacing.

I'd replace them now, but the ball and chain needs maintenance.
Easy does it...that'd be my house, not my wife!

 

I like the rims. Even the white lettering! I was originally going to go with these.

 

do the tires bulge out past the rim and provide protection or does it sit even with the rim?

 

The pictures answer your question. Look closely at the first post (second and third pics).

As for protection, that probably depends on what you are referring to. Curbs in the city or sharp rocks on the trail?

Are you just wanting to protect the wheels from curb rash?

 

yes i am aware of the all the pictures present, however i wanted some clarification from you as the owner themself.

i am referring to curb rashes in particular. TIA

 

The tires will definitely protect the wheels from scratches. I’m pretty cautious because I’m trying not to scrape the paint off the white letters.

 

Probably a little less protected than with Tacoma Pro wheels, but better than with the convex Sport or OR wheels (and way better than Ranger Raptor wheels).

 

the TRD off road wheel and tire setup is pretty beefy.. lol

 

I don't quite understand the look (not addressing the axle width) and purposely trying to break the wheel bead, but many like it...
