Need opinions on wheels

The classic lock gets my vote.Discount tire direct has some nice looking level 8 wheels.

 

but similar in style to the poll choices...

ProComp 8069-6883
^ 16 X 8 @ 4" BS'ing + correct offset/center chunk, brake caliper clearance for tacoma
^ ( allows for the tundra brake upgrade/swap)

* these are the same wheels that Wheeler's had special ordered thru ProComp
to specifically fit the '97.5 thru '04 Tacomas

* they are now available direct thru ProComp...
and Wheeler's has discontinued offering them for sale.

* ( would seem, ProComp wanted a piece of the market that Wheeler's originally held)

Mine are sporting 295/75/16 Hankook RT03's














forget the bling chrome center caps...
and if ya don't like the gloss... some fine steel wool should minimize that effect

 

these look great do you think the 7069 in matte is the same wheel

 

No, it's not...
The 8069-6883's were designed by ProComp
at request by Wheeler's off road...
specifically for the '97,5 - '04 Tacoma models

to offer the correct offset and center chunk design
that clears the brake caliper(s) correctly due to it's
slightly exaggerated center chunk disc shaping.

Unfortunately... the 8069's only are available in gloss black.

 

Heres mine

American racing outlaw series 3.5 BS 15x10

 

but with those 3 choices, M/T classic locks for sure.

 

#1 all day. But IMO, Chrome.

 

i like the Classic Lock in black... the black wheel gives the truck a rugged, beater kind of look, but the bolts break it up nicely...

4" backspace works great with 285-75-16 on a first gen, but 3.625" gives it a nice mean stance too...

with the 3.625" backspace, if you have stock sidesteps, you might have some rub on turns and articulation like turning into a driveway, but it's not too bad...

if you have your front caster moved 2 degrees forward, you can clear...

 

Didn't Fuel just come out with a bullet hole style like these that's pretty sharp? I voted classic locks but I run the classic II. The black looks slick with the locks on it, but mine as chrome.

 

i have been looking at the 8069 and 7069 and the price difference from the classic locks is about 300$ so im not sure what to do i guess i just need to pull the trigger because im tired of the stock wheels

 

Just got off the phone with procomp and the 7069-6883 is the same as the 8069 that fits our trucks perfect! They are on sale right now at 4wheelparts 4wheels for $399 what you guys think

 

$399.00? For four?!?

 

Yep that's the price I'm getting in the cart they are on sale

 

if you like em, jump on it. If the deal was here in Canada I would buy em lickedy split, and I am not even really lookin.

edit: no I wouldn't, cause I am drivin a 2nd Gen

 

Sounds like a good deal. I think that's what I got mine for from pss.

Another difference between the Classic Locks and Pro Comps is that the lug nuts sit inside the rim vs. the PC's that have them exposed on the outside. On these rims, they look mean mounted on the outside vs. hidden.

 

PSSHHHHH!!! I just bought em...BAM! With a set of BFG at's.

 

Agh so lucky I might pull the trigger on them this weekend I want to see what they look like first but then they won't be on sale you order them from 4WP?

 

Yeah...Sweet deal, and they are running a sale on tires too. Just waiting on my Toytec ULK to get here, and then my wheels and tires....so stinkin anxious.
