Anyone running aluminum wheels?
1 Attachment(s)
Possibly thinking about picking up some 96+ toyota aluminum wheels and putting them on my 91' pickup. Does anyone have an pictures of what they'll look like before I really consider getting them?

Aluminum wheels are just as strong if not stronger than steel wheels. Unless you are doing to Baja race, you will be just fine. |

You cannot run IFS wheels on a SFA without wheel spacers. Keep that in mind when you buy them. The will hit the steering arms
got 1.5's already from upgrading the brakes... true, about the same "strength," i guess i was referring to aluminum wheels breaking vs. steel bending |
I've always loved those wheels and would put them on but I just found a decent deal on craigslist for these ones. Think they'd look decent on a 91' reg cab?

Aluminum tends to bust up and steel just bends. You can at least limp home on a bent rim but they are heavier for sure.
Numerous picture threads in tires and wheels. Search there. :wabbit2: |
