Am I a poser if I put TRD wheels on my PreRunner

No.

 

If it fits your truck....get em. No one is gonna judge. I'm practically a mall crawler nowadays because of a bad back, but I've got shit on my truck like I'm heading to Ouray! lol. Besides....I love the trd wheels and so do most of the people I know that own Dodges and Chevys!

 

From the ad............. Brand new 17" TRD PRO Aftermarket Wheels

Makes one wonder. Worth a close check up.

As far as being a poseur. All the TRD badging, on any item, is marketing hype. Nothing labeled such came from Toyota Racing Development. So technically all owners of TRD bits are poseurs.

 

yes

 

Everybody gets so bent about the knockoff version of these. Has anybody yet complained about being stranded with a damaged knockoff wheel?

 

I think you only cross the line if you deliberately start up-badging the truck, badges don't serve any purpose but to tell what model you have. Wheels are still useful as wheels even if they're from another model or trim level. There's actually a good facebook group for this haha,

 

I hate when folks fool me, it makes me look foolish. Please keep your orig. wheels........ No wait my wheels are from a 2017 4Runner..... Dang now I feel foolish again..... I hate when this happens.

 

I would not worry about looking like a poser with your wheels. There are members with jacked up 4x4s that never see dirt, ever. Do whatever you like.

 

There are plenty of Prerunners out there that are TRD, including mine. In fact I'd wager there are MORE TRD Prerunners than non-TRD, at least from what I've seen in CA.

Not poser at all.

 

OP, all kidding aside, why would you think wheels make an owner a poser? Most in the population buy wheels for looks not knowing what type of truck it came off of, as long as it bolts up. There's a reason why a wheel manufacturer makes wheels to fit many applications of vehicles. Now if you started a thread like" Considering putting 4x4 bed decals on my 2WD truck" , now that's posing.

 

You’re fine as long as your truck doesn’t have an #insta page.

 

Reminds me of When I drove my 2nd gen (daughter drives it now) around the base, I used to get hounded by guys with prerunners wanting to by my rear mudflaps off of me

 

I threw my 4x4 flaps in the garbage

 

I have a TRD pro badge on my 2006. That’s being a poser
Wheels are not poser

 

Yep, you're a poser.

Buy them, then send them to me so I can put them on my '07 SR5.

 

Your truck, your money. Do whatever the fk you want. Truck will look good with those wheels though for sure.

 

I have a set on my 06 SR5......DO IT!!

 

My truck thinks it’s a 4Runner pro
