    I'm looking at the Pro Comp 51 Series steel wheels, and SCS's Stealth 6 or SR8. The SR8 would be the preferred out of the two from SCS, I think. :annoyed: Can't decide. I know just from the last time Vin has stocked the wheels, that it's difficult to get a set because they sell so fast. Should I be patient and attempt to get a set of four from SCS? It is priced at $660 for the ones I want. Or should I go with the Pro Comp's which have a more attractive price point, currently $331.96 on Summit Racing's website (best price I've found). I love the looks of all three wheels. Just needed an outside opinion on durability and customer satisfaction on any of the wheels I'm looking at. Any other recommendations are welcome. I don't want to pay more than $750 or so for a set of four, and gunmetal/dark gray, black, or bronzish/gold wheels are my parameters. Not much a fan of chrome or machines faces/lips.

    Thanks in advance!

    Stealth 6 or F5 from SCS would be my preference with the F5 being first.

    Thank you for your opinion! I've done a little bit more research on the Pro Comp's and I read that they wouldn't fit because the d-windows have a problem with rubbing on the brake caliper. Does anyone know if that's true? If the only way I can get them to fit is by using a spacer, I'd rather not go that route. If that's the case I'll only be looking at SCS's wheels. So if that is the case then I'll only need opinions on the SR8 vs the Stealth 6.

    The pro comp steel wheels will hit the caliper and you will need spacers for them.
    Go with the SCS wheels :thumbsup: I too prefer the SR8 over the stealth 6

    I have done some more research and don't feel comfortable running spacers, so I've thrown D-Window wheels out the window because it seems like no one makes any that fit anymore (can't find any Wherler's models). I've found another style I like, the Black Rock Yuma 908B's. If anyone has any experience with how the Black Rock's and SCS Wheels hold up to wear and tear, please let me know. Also, if you think I should go with SCS Wheels for the extra $150-$200 extra over the Black Rock's, give me your reasoning. Thanks in advance!

    Similar style to the Black Rock's. Would those be worth the wait time just for proper fit? Or should I keep looking at the other options I have listed?

    I'm just having a hard time deciding between the classic styling of the 8 hole wheels, or go for a more modern look with SCS wheels.

    I thought they were discontinued. You can still special order them? Cool.

    What about the SCS Ray 10? Like a combination of modern and classic 8 hole.

    I went with Level 8 Trackers. No center caps. Totally love them, less than $100 each from DT on sale. Classic styling, perfect fitment.

    I've had the SR8's on my truck for over a year now and they are holding up well. The rain likes to lay in the wheel behind the beadlock. Other than that, I have no complaints. They do stick out past my stock fender flares about 1.5 inches, but I'm good with that.

    I've looked at those and they sell so quickly, it'd be hard for me to grab a set. Same things with the SR8's really. The Stealth 6's seem like they'd be the most obtainable because they're the only one she on the site currently that haven't sold out in the size I want. I'll look into SCS wheels more in depth.

    I'm running ProComp 7069 matte finish for 01-04 Tacomas...


    Your original selection included quite an opposing style selection. D-Windows are "minimalist" or basic and SCS are top of the line with style and color.


    Consider your projected overall personal style.
