    Derp one and see if you like it. As stated already, try giving it some contrast (chrome lug nuts, center caps, or just a space on the wheel). Nice truck, and good luck!

    I agree....M/T Tires would make allot of difference or you could plasti-dip the rims...but nah...Tires

    I was going to plasti-derp my wheels to see how I liked the look after them being silver for 5 years, said screw it and just painted them. It is a lot of work {prep} but I really dig the black. :D

    Thanks for the input... I'l try some larger tires and post some update pics. When I went to see the guy to buy these he said it had 265/75's but he made a mistake and they were only 265/70's. I also want to put the Tacoma chrome badges back on and that may help tie the rims into the truck a bit.

    I like 'em. Like you said, a larger tire would make them look even better.

    they need to be black or gunmetal grey IMO, then they'd look 10000X better. :cool:
