    Those aren't stock. That's the BBK you can get for the X-Runners. :p

    Yep.
    I have a swb and and have thought about this before... i'm thinking black, gunmetal or something on the dark side would look best.

    I've always thought that painting those a color that draws attention is a little goofy. Just my opinion, but I'd paint them black.

    Black because you don't have nice brakes. The Tacoma's stock brakes have an ugly finish and just look cheap when you paint it any color except black.

    I'm not really in to X-Runners and don't generally like SWB, but that truck looks badass. Nice work.

    Yea my friend has spent some big money on that truck. 4 sets of rims. Front and Rear BBK's. He's currently running te37's that are 19x9.5 with a 12mm offset.

    Like most, I wouldnt really do these brakes in anything but black. I dont think they're nice enough to make em stand out. Black hides them and hides the brake dust well too :)

    I say black. Black goes with almost everything and it would look clean.
