    I'm looking to put wheels on my 2013 Taco and was wondering what everyone thinks of Ballistic brand wheels? Have you heard anything negative about them? I have a white four door and was thinking of going with black wheels for a nice accent, just don't want to purchase any junk! Thank you for the help!

    I like the look of mine but I haven't had them long enough for a performance review... Just make sure you get the hub centric ring (106mm ID to 110mm OD) to center them properly.

    Personally I think they are among some of THE ugliest wheels I've ever seen.

    Lol, the ballistic jesters certainly aren't for all. If you want another plain jane all black wheel, don't run 'em. just installed mine for winter use for which they hold up well. Oh, and Merry Xmas all!!

    I think it's because for some reason I think they make the truck look like a Hot Wheels toy truck.

    The red inlays can be removed to make them look more plain or other colors can be installed such as camo.

    Hey I love Hot Wheels, lol. the affinity for the Jesters that some people lack still makes me laugh, reminds me of Uncle Bucks hat.

    While looking for wheels I've found Jesters available with red, white, camo, pink camo, or no colored inserts:

    I haven't seen them available like that anywhere else.
