Because it came with some top of the line chinese winter tires, I am currently looking for some wheels for some summers with some KO2 BF Goodrich. So many options out there, Method has some fantastic ones, so are some of the OEM TRD rims, too many choices.

I literally spent months deciding. I’d save pics, post them in notes on my iPhone with a description so I had a library to view in one spot.
Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.

I've never liked aftermarket rims on these trucks. 
Boo. And a shameless plug for aftermarket. :)

Yours being the exception, of course.

It’s OK if you don’t like them GBA, all good. Different strokes.

Those ones are close enough to the stock TRD wheels that I like em. 

It's more the 'Rockstars' and other grotesque wheels that one finds on the brodozers that I don't like.

I think the ones Bridgecity put on look really good.

Those really look good. I'm not sure to go with bronze or black because my truck is silver.
Lighten up Francis.....

Yeah, those wheels look great

That being said, I vote for low profile and LOTS OF OFFSET



Custom Offsets is the place for big ass wheels and rubber band tires that stick out approximately a bajillion feet outside of your wheel wells.

Does seem like an odd trend. Can't drive well either and must be hella tough on the hubs/axles/studs

Seeing lots of it around now though

Nope, no PTSD yet, got a full tank, no inappropriate touching, though jamming the gas pedal down made me smile, and here are some terrible pics by moi. Love the truck so far, here's hoping for a long, unremarkable road ahead. Here is a pic of her nicely tucked away at home in our all Toyota household and one from when I get her from the dealer.

Congrats!

Lots of trucks around here of all flavours running that stance. Yeah, can't be easy on suspension or axles....plus it looks full potato stupid.

Popular stance here too, I've even seen a few with that squat situation where it's lifted in the front only....Looks ridiculous and it's dangerous.

I think the ban was in Carolina, where it was becoming a real problem. Tennessee isn't big on banning anything, which I appreciate.

Those really look good. I'm not sure to go with bronze or black because my truck is silver.

I was heavily leaning towards bronze but thought they'd wear thin after while being more "showy".  Mrs BC and the juniors were happy I didn't go bronze.  I still like the look of bronze though on the right truck with the right wheel.  Gunmetal would also look good with silver.
