    Hey Gang,

    Ive been a long time follower of the board but frequent poster of TTORA/CustomTacos.

    I currently live in Baltimore, MD and drive a 2003 PreRunner DC

    I have been running 15" Wheeler Black Steelies for years and they are getting scary rusty (see pic)... So it is time to switch to aluminum wheels. Since Im running 15" and recently bought tires, I would ideally stick with the size.

    I wanted to see if anyone was running some of the following wheels, knew for SURE they fit 2nd gen Tacos and had pictures:




      • American Racing Baja 15x8 (3.75" BS / -19mm Offset)
      • Black Rock Yuma 15x8 (3.75" BS / -18mm Offset)
      • Mickey Thompson Classic III 15x8 (3.625" BS / -22mm Offset)

    I have searched for endless hours and read every thread of 15" wheel fitment and am in need of buying wheels... Any tips would help

    Thanks

    Wire brush and some paint go a long way. Mine looked similar before I started wire brushing and painting them once a year.

    Yeah - I've done that for the past few years - these were originally on my 1st Tacoma (98) and have been around for the better part of 8-9 years... 7 of those harsh winters with lots of Salt. It's time I think for them to retire.

    Anyone still run 15s anyways?
