    THE STORY
    Hi all, back in 2012 I bought myself some new wheels and tires to go with my new truck. The wheels I bought were the Eagle Alloy 063 models. I love the look of them. However, after just a few months of use, the black paint started chipping off of them.

    Now the problem is so bad that I don't even like looking at them. In some areas it is very bad with lots of raw aluminum exposed. Of course American Eagle never allowed me to warrant them.

    REPLACEMENT WHEELS
    I'm looking for a replacement set that looks as similar as possible. Black, fake beadlockers, etc. However, it is very important to get a durable wheel where the paint is going to last this time!

    I NEED HELP
    I'm not as "into" the tacomaWorld scene as I used to be. For those of you that live and breathe tacoma parts/wheels/tires. Please help.

    Attached is a few photos of the wheels when they were originally installed. You know want to see what they look like now.

    Thanks in advance!

    Fake beadlock look... Consider @SCSPerformance SR8. I have not have them on long enough to comment on durability, but mfg-wise they look top notch. I expect them to last a looooong time.
