Fo SHeezy! Where are you buying your 22s and how much are they running you? I plan to get the 20" of that rim unless the 22s look much better.

Everyone to their own, thats what makes our trucks so much fun, but there is NO WAY I would trust tires and wheels like that on a serious trail. Old school 70's trail doggin taught me you have to put lots of trust in your tires when you're 100 miles from the nearest piece of blacktop. Sorry guys they may look really nice but not to everyone. If I'm going to be doing any trail doggin, I want some meat tires under me, strong high sidewalls, large knobby grippers, I guess it's a generation thing! LOL BLING just rings of Rap, over driving bass you hear two miles before it arrives and rattlin windows and fenders as it drives by. Just don't do it for me, but hey, thats why they call it "customizing". I could think of some serious mods to do with the money you just shelled out to some tire dealer, hey but what ever floats your boat!

Ritzy, I don't think he is planning on taking his 4Runner w/ 22's and low pros off and into the woods on a trail...probably more of the street scene I'd think.

Buy yeah, different strokes for different folks. I see quite a few 3rd gens with 20s rolling around my town...not my cup of tea, but I'm not driving it either. They might be looking at mine thinking it's fugly

To each his own, I like the 18s on that Taco.... looks good.

As for the street scene the 22s will stand out, which is sometimes hard to do.

I'm getting my 22"s from some place up in Virgina, I'm getting them $300 cheaper than I got the 20"s.

Around here putting rims on a 4Runner is the thing to do, it's rare that you see a 4Runner that is lifted. Most of the 4Runner's that are customized have 20"s or 22"s, and there are quite a few of them around. I believe I've seen at least two 2nd Gen 4Runner's that were lifted, everyone else is ridin on chrome.

I was shying away from putting on 18's (too much bling), but that taco is looking pretty good.

I think bling on full size truck/SUV such as Escalade, H2, Armada looks better than bling on a 4Runner IMO.

Bigger rims seem to be more balanced on big beefy vehicles. 4Runner is a mid-sized SUV, too small for large rims IMO, it's almost like taking a set of blings from a Crysler 300 or Dodge Charger and putting them on a Camry. But hey, I've seen ppl puting them on Sentras. Besides, it's one's car and money, one can do whatever they want with them.

yea im gonna have to agree, the majority of the 4runners around here are all chromed out head to toe and loud as can be...now ill be joinin the loud part but the chrome just isnt my thing. im surprised i havent seen you around town what part of east tennessee are you from?

I've seen 22's on 4runners and liked it..and seems rims on other 4runners and thought it looks like crap. Just depends on the wheel design and the color of the 4runner for me (for some reason..).

I like the look of those 18's on that Tacoma too.. but I think the big MT's help it out a lot.

I seen a double cab Tacoma (01-04) here today with rims on it / no lift and thought it looks like crap.

But as said before.. to each their own! I wouldn't say I'd never put 18's on my 14runner.. but only if I was running around a 35" tire. :0 I'd never put 22's unless I had an offroad set of tires/wheels for when I offroad.

I considered going with 20"s at one point, so I'm not ashamed to say that the 22"s look good.

The skid plate with the bull bar is a unique touch.
