Ok, so I was in class today bored out of my mind and started thinking of what to do to my 4runner since I haven't done any mods or changed anything lately. Then the idea came to me... how would black wheels look on my 4runner? I have a black 2nd Gen 4runner which has a black brush gaurd and black nerf bars on it already. Im wondering if black wheels would look good with it? Heres a couple pics of the 4runner... I took some tonight but its night right now so I'll refer to some I have taken before...
This is a side shot of it (in background)

Pic of thwe front...

Heres a pic I took tonight (sorry, looks like there was some crap on the lense...)

Another pic...

'Nother pic (No I didn't hit the garage door, my genius sister did a week ago lol)


Now for the wheel choices I was thinking of

Rockcrawler 51 series...

StreetLock 152 series...


If you know of any other black wheels that would look good please post them... I would like some kind of photoshop to one of those pics, but the pics of those wheels like a little light colored and not black, ill try to find different pics of them.

Well, if you make it this far, thanks for reading and all of yalls input would be great... and dont ***** about the ****ty pics!!

Did this one really quick in photoshop, would have blacked out the other rims on the truck but I have to go to work soon. I can do the other rim after work if nobody else does.



Because the truck is so small in this picture you really loose the detail once the silver rims get blacked out under the new rims.




EDIT: did the first picture while I was letting my truck warm up. Still had the rims cutout in photoshop.

Before you buy other rims......try painting the inner part of your existing rims black and leave the outer part aluminum. You may be able to do it in Photoshop 1st. I don't have the capability.

I did that with some chrome ones once and they looked really nice. I don't think the all black look looks good unless there isn't ANY chrome on the truck. Just my opinion.

When I get new wheels/tires I will be getting something similar to the 152 model that you posted up. Personally black truck + black wheels + dark tint etc.... = badass (my T4R is black too).

I personally dig shiny chrome or brushed aluminum with big raised white lettering on the tires.

Maybe that's just the muscle car in me... vroom vroom.

Thanks for the photoshop pics, helped me get a pretty good idea of what theyt look like. I'm not sure if I'm gonna go black or not, right now I dont really like my wheels and my tires are dirty as crap , I might go with some 32" bfg all terrains and put black wheels on there... not sure yet. I was lookign on www.4wheelparts.com , anyone ordered from them? Looked like they had some decent prices.
Thanks for the pics again and please more comments

get the black rims, you will love them. i have hardly heard any poor reports on people not liking the look of the black rims. the only downside i hear is that they can be hard to balance sometimes. when i bought mine, put them on and saw how good they looked, i will probably never buy chrome rims again unless its for street tires. the black rims are much more utilitarian looking and i personally think they hold up better to offroad abuse. chrome is common on the street, black isnt. i know youll make the right choice...

i think black rims look like crap on anything modern. in 10 years from now, they'll be as cool as gold nugget modulars were in the '80s. just my .02...

lee

ooh thems harsh words!

i like black rims on built trucks. black rims on stock trucks looks like bling (ie most wranglers that i see with black rims)

Johnboy

Gotta ask...what do you consider modern? I think '86-'95 is respectfully pretty darn old.

kyle_22r

my head is stuck in the 70s, i think most anything with fool injection is more modern than me

it might be because EVERYBODY has them here, not too unique any more.
