    I understand where your coming from. I love the way my chrome Moto Metal 955's look on my truck, i get at least 1 compliment every weekend. Is the tire shop gonna give you warranty on your wheels? Its usually a 1yr warranty, If so go with chrome. If the chrome starts to mess up within a year take them back and go with black like i'm doing right now.

    If you don't mind cleaning your wheels every weekend go with chrome.
    If you do mind having to clean wheels every weekend go with black.

    If its a trd sport get some black wheels. If its a trd off road get some chrome to match with your grille and back bumper. I got chrome wheels. It looks nice but i plan to get black ones in the far far away future. My truck is white so it all depends on you

    20's fit just fine on a Tacoma. Maybe you should consider a polished rim instead of chrome...personally I think its a better look. Heres mine with a set:

    And what they look like in black (not particularly my favorite)

    Alloy rims look clean compared to chrome.
