    Hello, all! I’ve been scoping out this forum for a while and have decided to say hello! Lots of great info here!

    Two weeks ago I bought a brand new 2020 Tacoma TRD Sport and I freakin love it! My wife only drives Toyota’s, and she’s converted me. Although it didn’t take much convincing....I’ve wanted a Tacoma for quite some time now.

    So...as it goes...I’ve already put beefier tires on it (265/70/17 Falken Wildpeaks), because they look soooo much better.
    I’m not a huge fan of the stock wheels color contrast, so I plan to do satin black Plasti-dip on them. Also might do a leveling kit with spacers in the near future also. Still not sure about that.

    Anyways, just wanted to stop in and say hello!

    Here is a photo of the day that I got the truck...

    and here is a photo with the new tires!

    What's Up Wade? Nice Taco! I love the hood that comes with the Sport. And I'm also glad you are interested in blacking out your rims with plasti-dip. I thought about having a friend powdercoat mine but the whole process is a pain as he just paints stuff and doesn't do tires.

    I'm super glad to have you here! I am new here too and love it already! Welcome!! Let me know if you want to chat about the rim situation.

    Cheers! :cheers:

    Hey, Justin! Thanks! Yeah, I’ll probably be doing the plasti dip thing here in the next week or so. I’m not too sure how it works with the lug nuts though. I’ve seen several people leave their wheels on the truck and spray the lug nuts, too. I wonder when you get your tires rotated though...isn’t that going to mess the lug nuts up? I guess an option always could be to just get some black lug nuts...

    Yeah-- i bet it would peel from a tire iron for sure. Black lug nuts would probably be smart.
