Tacoma pro wheels and color change

Yeah if pretty much decided on Falken Wildpeak.... I almost decided to swap to the stock tires but I want a inch of lift outa the equation

 

So does going with a 75 aspect ratio give you an inch?

 

Yes

 

Holy cow wheels were estimated next wed came today... thought I could order tires today... now I got wheels and no tires... really close to swapping the stockers...

 

Teaser shot. Made my oldest hold it until his arms went weak. “No to the left”

 

So what do you think of the quality? I'm pretty impressed so far. Have not mounted mine yet. Btw I noticed the stamp inside these wheels from the manufacturer (I assume) is the same that's on the outside of the rim on my stock o/r wheels. "JML" Or something like that...hmmmm....

 

There pretty nice. I’m suspecting they are factory wheels powder coated... there was some minor paint over a very small scratch on one wheel. And you can tell on the back they were mounted before. Still it was a steal of a price for exactly what I wanted

Perfect amount of sidewall sticking out

 

I don't understand the whole black wheel thing. I love my TRD Pro's with the Toyo Open Country's 265/70/17. I've had a bit of trouble balancing the tires, but like the look.

 

Hell yeah! That looks really good, especially mounted up with the Falkens. Goes nice with the cement. Coincidentally I got mine mounted up today and just got home. I'm real happy with the amount of poke these have as well!! We must live relatively close as we've got rain and thunderstorms going on here too! The power had even gone out at the Discount Tire that did mine...I don't have an enclosed garage or I would take pics... Will post some up maybe tomorrow if the sun peaks out!

 

Yeah I am in the fort hood area. I used discount tire as well.

 

@cowsquatch67 you do a highway drive yet? I noticed a slight shimmy that I didn’t yesterday. I ended up ordering a new set of lugs as well as the tire guy (who drives a lifted 3rd gen with KO2s said they fit but he prefers a higher ET) maybe that will make a difference they will be in on Saturday.

 

We’re your tires road force balanced? I had a ton of issues, roadforcing cured it. The guy doing the balancing said that he only roadforces Toyota’s, says they seem to be sensitive to balance issues.

 

Yeah, Discount called me and said the stock lugs wouldn't work with this new rim, that I needed an acorn style lug. Hadn't thought to research the lugs... The stock appears to be a mag seat with washer style. They had some acorn style in stock either chrome or black for $45 so I just went ahead and had them add them and get it done. Yeah I could have found some cheaper, had I researched better. But It's done and the ride is just fine. I'll bet that will fix your issue...

 

I had the acorn style lugs and brought them in. He tri do the longer ET they would not clear the hole.

I brought it back and did a road force balance. Seems to be a change of of where weights are. No shimmy at lower speeds... still kinda there at higher speeds. He said to break in the tires some. It could be normal like I said it’s just a minor wobble.

 

Where the pics at?

 

Been running around with the wife today in her car and am responding to this on my phone right now. Haven't even been in my truck today. Maybe after work tomorrow...
What are you meaning when you say "longer ET"?

 

@gitacotrd Before


After 2.25" / 1" lift and new wheels. And yes, dirty!

 

A little more reveal;
