    Price has gone up. Looking to pick up a set for the 4runner. 17x8 -10 is about $149 per wheel. Still a good deal none the less.

    Great lookin setups ... running 8" or 9" version? Is there an advantage to one over the other?

    EDIT: NVM, I see you mentioned.

    Hi sylverknuk, if I had Quicksand, Bronze 1st, Matte Black 2nd, Gun Metal 3rd. But it's your truck, your pick on color.

    I am still running these wheels, no problems. 16x8, 0 offset. Robert

    I have a 2017 TRD Sport and with 265/70/17 tires and was looking to get a set of the MK6 in 17”x9 with -12 offset. Would I need to get a lift for those to fit without any issues?

    Thanks ... EVERY one of those pics look awesome!! I ended up going with 17x9 w/ -12mm Offset (would be the same inner edge as 17x8 0mm, I believe) in Black. Installed Ready Lift leveling kit w/ diff drop along with Icon add-a-leaf in the back. Very happy with the way it turned out. Really like these Level 8 rims - good price, great look.

    Love my bronze MK6 - they're definitely one of the better looking wheels on a Tacoma. I do not, however, like center caps on my wheels.
    I actually sold these 16" in this pic and bought 17" MK6 same color, same Coopers.

    Bronze definitely looks awesome, especially on white like that. Very clean look. Running 33 in BFG KO2s on mine. Agree with the center cap. Trying to figure out what to do about that.

    On previous set of MK6s, i used household goo gone and it removed the logo right off the center cap without much effort. I replaced it with TRD vinyl decal.

    I had TRD center caps and didn’t like those either - I just don’t care for center caps specifically on the MK6 wheel. Just personal preference.

    Reminds me of how Volk TE37s were back in the day. Some folks rock it with center caps and some didn't. I had a set w no center caps and thought it looked fantastic.
    I'm looking at these MK6s again for my 3rd runner...debating between the bronze(wish it was a bit darker) and matte black. 1st world problems.

    Where are you seeing these for $149? Ebay? I'm looking for 17X8 0 offset in grey or bronze most likely.

    They would have been a no brainer at the former price.

    That's a sick pic and one of the better ones I've seen with white lettering.

    Thank you! I am of the opinion that white lettering looks best on white and pretty good on gray and red trucks. Purely subjective!

    Right.

    Would you say the wheels are a "lighter" bronze or closer to a matte finish? I'm torn between matte grey/gunmetal and bronze.
