Black 16s

I'm going to swap out the stock alloys for black 16s. Anyone have thoughts about any of these? I've narrowed it down, slightly, too:




















What are you guys running?

 

I just put pacer lt mods on my tundra. They were $380 shipped and look almost identical to the 5th pic you posted.

 

I like the second one if it wasn't shiny, and more of a matte color?

 

I've got the 'Soft 8' stamped steel kind and love them. But my next set will be some 'D slots' that I'll have Rhino Lined. Most all of the stamped steel will require a small spacer to clear the calipers. The cheap set from any parts house will suffice.

 

I was eying those Mamba's for a while until I came across the FN Wheels Five Stars:

I got soft 8's on my tacoma... Rhino lined... Man they're super heavy, killed my mpg

 

Go 15s bro!

 

So far, those are my favorite. Gonna try to find a Tire Rack or some other dealer nearby so I can see them IRL

 

I like the old TRD wheels and Ivan Stewarts best but after that I think FN has the best looking wheels for the Tacoma. I think they are supposed to be very light too, like 18 lbs per wheel or something. That Five Star is sweet.

 

Im looking too. I like the atx style, just a simple design looks good. I'd stay away from steel personally, due to weight and rust.

What wheels did you end up with, OP?

 

3rd one from top... IMO

 

I’ve got the aluminum level 8 trackers on mine from discount tire. Really cheap and have held up good. Spokane winters are starting to make the hub caps rust though. I also vinyl wrapped the center emblem camo instead of the gay ass carbon fiber that came on it stock.

 

@buckmaster243 Nice...how are you liking your KO2s...was considering them except for reviews about slick in wet and snow and progressively louder as they wear...interested in how they are working for you, please.

 

I love me some steelies. But mine are 15” right now. But they’re so cheap that when the tires are due next time I’ll go 16” so I can get a slightly shorter, yet wider, tire. Metric style.

 

I like em, they have always done good in the snow for me. Especially if you air them down in the deep snow. I’ve got 25k miles on mine and they haven’t gotten any louder or really shown any signs of wear. We just got the falken at3s on my fiancé’s 4runner. They seem like really nice tires as well and really cheap.

 

The third from the top are the ones I got on my truck

 

Great looking tire...looks tough as hell, too.

If it came down to looks and ruggedness, that's the tire I would buy. Having a hard time wrapping my head around $170/tire for 235s for a daily driver 2wd 4 banger that's 95%+ on road. Man, those look nice, though.

I think I'm going to settle for the Cooper Discoverer AT3 LT-rated over the Falken.

I've heard nothing but very good things about the Falken, they are $15 less and 2 pounds lighter than the Coopers...it's just something about that shoulder block...looks like a KO2 wannabe...it's interesting and there is nothing else on the market like it...just something about it that bugs me a bit...imho, the Cooper looks cleaner and has an interesting design on the sidewall...Decisions. Decisions.

 

I think I liked them so much cause they do look a lot like the ko2s. To each his own haha
