    I saw a first gen taco last night with the newer style 17 inch sport wheels. It actually looked pretty good. That gets my vote.

    My 03 SR5 steelies needed center caps. Dealer wanted $40 a peice. Found a set of 07 with center caps and lugs that were like new for $100. Bought them. Checked on powder coating. They beadblast and degrease the wheels before they get coated. Three coats of color and two coats of clear was $100 per wheel. If my truck was new I might condsider, but I think I will pass.

    I have a friend who blacks out everything including rims.. I am using the search button as of late to figure out what I can do better about the oil changes and 90k belt replacements. The truck has 94k on it.
