Steel rims

Hello all tacos:
I’m looking at a basic work truck with 6 cl, 4x4, 4 real doors, tows 6,000+, and an affordable lease. I settled on the Tacoma SR to check all these boxes. The question I have is: I was not expecting to get steel rims for a $30k plus truck. What is the durability of these? Do I have to be concerned with bending or rust? Thx!

 

Welcome to TacomaWorld
Steelies are the schiznizzle
Alloys are weak for 4 wheeling and paint falls off, plus they pit in salty winter roads.
Actually they pit under any condition.

 

If you hit something hard enough to bend a steel wheel you would have probably damaged an aluminum wheel. Not buying out the lease; the steel wheels will easily last 3-4 years. If you still have issues, $600-800 will get you some nice wheels. $450 will get you a set of OEM takeoffs.

Up here in the great white north after about 10 years, most alloy wheels won’t hold air decently anymore. All the salt pits up the beads and you get slow leaks. My Tacoma has been really good so far, but steel rims seem to hold up better.
