    I want to do different wheels on truck. I like the classic OEM look but the chrome vibe of the sport rimz don’t give that rugged simplistic look that I prefer.
    Pic attached is how she sits currently. I’ve recently been looking at 1st gen tundra alloys in the 16” flavor.. anyone have them on their second gen? Not the double spoke, as those are difficult to source, but the other two 5 spoke (one looks more like a snowflake, and the other more like a curved starfish.
    thought about just plain ol Tacoma sr5 steelies but those tundra wheels might work well for skinnies (235/85) which I’ve also been eyeing. Not a fan of any of the 3rd gen offerings. Give me some opinions/pics, anything.

    I picked up these 3rd Gen alloys via flea bay from a tire shop in Salt Lake City. only a pound and a half lighter that the steel wheels, and quite a bit cheaper than aftermarket. The truck looks younger, too.

    Happened across a set of 05-06 tundra offroad/limited wheels in pretty good shape

    265/75/16 klever AT2 on the way for them. I think it will look good. Keep that stock look just a little different

    What are we looking at here?

    I have a 2005 Pre-Runner that I want to put rims and tires on.

    It was suggested I put a spindle kit up front to level it first.

    That pic of my truck, it is stock. 265/70r17 on 5th gen trd offroad premium wheels.

    This is after installing 3rd gen tacoma trd offroad suspension. You will gain about a 1" to 1.5" of lift when doing the 3rd gen suspension.
