Gold Wheels on a Radiant Red Tacoma?

Hello everyone.

I'm looking at a new set of wheels for my 2002 Tacoma TRD.

She currently has a set of 16" wheels that were refinished in gunmetal (see pic).



I was thinking about picking up a set of Konig Countersteer Offroads.





I am torn between gunmetal and bronze. There is someting about that bronze that really sticks out to me. Anyone else feelin the bronze or am I out of it?

I know a few guys have gold on a red truck, let me look for their build thread....I don't quite remember who it is.

 

Bronze.

 

red and gold is a great combo, you should look for a wheel that is more gold and less bronze, just a thought

 

Thanks, that'd be great!

Glad to see im not alone.

Any recommendations? Otherwise I'm just gonna go on tirerack and see what they have.

Wow didn't really expect such quick response!! lol

Seems like everyone i've talked to in person says the bronze would look terrible. I always thought it was an interesting color combo.

 

I couldn't find his build sorry. He has an awesome picture of his with gold rims under a bridge if anyone knows who I'm talking about.

But check these threads, they are 2nd gen though, should be some pics in there.

Wow that looks great! I'm usually not a fan of colored lug nuts but wow he can really pull it off!

 

I personally would like the graphite gunmetal Countersteer Offroads on your truck.

My reason: I think it would flow better with the door handles and fender flares, since they are black.

If your truck was solid red, I would vote for matte bronze, because I think the contrast would look good.

This is just my two cents though. =)

 

I'd just clean up the greying fender flares, I'd even plasti dip them so they don't just keep going grey. and I'd also get the truck professionally polished, your red looks faded, with a good cut polish it could shine!

 

I knew you'd chime in here at some point haha

Yeah i know what you're saying about gunmetal flowing better. Wish I had a pic of a first gen like mine with gold wheels to compare to.

 

I need to look into this plasti-dip stuff.

And it's really not faded (I know this sounds like an excuse but...) the camera on my cell phone is well... lacking. Here's a better set of pics!

 

I love the red/gold combo! Too bad my truck is already gold or I'd do it.

Love this one.


My old Evo with gold wheels

(not my ad, but gives you the photo)

TRD TX Pro Bronze Wheels would be da bomb!!!!

 

Those look awesome! Nice Evo! I've always wanted one...

Nice! I emailed him just to see what he says about shipping lol

 

They both look like great rims for your truck, and yea I always love gold rims when they clash good with the vehicle. I love my stock rims but these might be my 2nd choice if that days comes....

 

That looks sick!!
