Guys, look at the photos and tell me which looks better..




I am kinda undecided..

White SR5

I went with silver. Black looks good too, but if you're off-roading a lot, the dirty/muddy black tires don't go well with the super-shiny black wheels. Now if you were showing it and put some of that tire dressing stuff on your tires to match the wheels, I'd vote for the black wheels! I think the aluminum-looking ones accent the big tires better though. I also like how the maunal locking hub has a red spot in the middle -- it seems to match the color of your 4Runner.

Silver looks nice, but with all the mods you have, the black wheels kinda scream aftermarket and looks a little more ominous. Plus it goes with all the black stuff you've added. I voted for black.

My worries is that they do seem to make ths 32's look smaller.. And I am not 100% sold on the black either.. They do need to be painted bad though....

Can anyone photochop stock alloys onto my truck, and keep my tires??

Lee, I used Microsoft Picture It!
First time I have ever pasted a cutout onto another picture, and it turned out pretty good
I had to make the cutout a transparent GIF online at www.animationfactory.com
then insert it to your pic.



By the way, that is Ken's wheel from his site from the wheel polishing page.

I tried to size it so it just barely overlapped your black wheel so it would cover it up just right.

Sorry, looks like you are also back to ADD again
I did not take the time to put the Aisin manual hubs back on again.

I voted for black just because I feel black looks better for off-road. Silver is more luxurious to me.

Gee.. I am kinda diggin those alloys though... I should e-mail that goy who posted some for sale and see if he is still selling (hint hint)

They won't be as gold looking either.
It's just the way they came out from Ken's site.

had me worried w/ that gold look there. I 'd say the black or the alloys, the first set of silver looked kind of plain.

The black clashes with your chrome, if you had the non-sr5 black bumper then the black wheels would match.

That's easy to fix, throw a black bumper up front Lee.

I was going to curse you Corey... I thought you had photochoped your ARB onto my truck.. Can ya say envy??
Well, silver is ahead.. I like the alloys, but these steelies are dang strong and easy to fix.. bend=BFG.. scratch=re-paint...

He he, I'd do that Lee, but junior got dropped off by the X tonight, and he is on my PC right now.

But, I did find some pics of Mike H's 2nd gen on Kong's site.
Same color as your rig, and with a black TJM on it.

It's his rear bumper that I want fabbed up.
I showed that design to Badland's, and he can make one very similar to it for me.
There are 2 pages here chock full of that design elsewhere.

Hey Lee,

I went w/ the silver. Can't give you a reason why, but silver looks better.

Also, good to see you posting more often here.

i went with silver, it's a better look for your current setup. i love black wheels but think they'd go better with a black or color matched bumper.

Yea.. It kinda seems like 4x4 wire has been kinda taken over by the third gen trucks... I still watch, but I get a feeling alot of the members have shown up here.. (Gee, a year ago there is no way that a post could stay on the front page for a couple of days.. Corey made sure of that single handed)

Victor

I'll dissent and vote for black. I think black steel wheels look really good. Leave the silver and polished look to alloy wheels.

seafarinman

Black all the way.

I'm diggin the blacks since your paint is a dark color
