3rd Gen Non-stock, but OEM wheels?

I probably like those the most..... Not sure if I want to pay for them though. A good deal on some used aluminum ones might be fine.

 

I have seen these wheels on ebay as used take offs. Hopefully you can land a set at a fair price.

 

As shitty as these pics are , phone pics suck...here are the steelies in plastic dipped black, sorry , it was dark when I got home from work last night......total cost... $36.00 + tax
Good luck bro.

 

Cool. Thanks!

 

Right on, pics sure suck...don't do it any jistice, but you get the point I'm sure. Whatever you choose, it will be nice looking. Good luck man.

 

Just shut up already.

 

Second gen OR alloys (16 inch) were 5-6 lbs lighter than the 16 inch steel wheels. 22 lbs compared to 27/28 IIRC.

Just FYI.

The 17 inch TRD alloys weighed about the same as the 16" steel wheels, also.. so be mindful of that also.

16" alloy vs steel is a considerable weight savings.

 

24-28 lbs, that truck will never notice it, ever....now if you put some E rated 10 plys on in a 285 75 17 or higher, then you might notice a little bit of diffrence, chances are, you wouldnt.

 

Just giving info.. but, you have a 2.7, right?

You'd be surprised what 6 lbs of rotational force amounts to with that motor. 8 lbs of additional tire weight gave me a 20% loss in MPGs.

 

Wow! 20%, unreal.

 

You're telling me.

 

What are you running now? Tire size and rims? And your truck is a 2.7 also, correct?

I never actually did a fuel comparison on my 2 set ups.....

I have the 16 inch steelies with 245/70/16s

And I have the TRD Off road rims stock with 265/70/16

 

Don't have the truck anymore (totaled last month).

But I went from stock 245/75/16 Dunlop OEM tires on OR alloy wheels to 265/75/16 Hankook (then 265/75/16 Cooper) and went from 23-24 MPG average to 17-17.5 MPG average. Pretty sure the tire weight was an increase of 8 lbs each.. no more than 10 lbs.

 

I saw a white 3rd Gen Taco with the black Tundra TRD Pro rims on it and it didn't look bad. Can't find any pics though.

 

Me thinks it will make a difference. F=MA and all.

I went from 245s to 265s and about the same diameter.... SL tire to SL tire..... I took about a 2MPG hit. Rotating mass is much more important than carrying an extra 8 lbs.

 

Mine is MGM.... those just look great.

 

I agree, until I saw those, I had figured I would want black rims, now not so sure.
