    I have a 2011 reg cab in silver. I really want aluminum 16s in black or flat black. What are some affordable options that will work with my truck that would look good? Looking to spend around 450-600.

    theres no way you will fit 33s with stock height unless you never turn the wheel or do any offroading. i would just paint stock toyota ones. i like the 3rd gen 4runner painted black

    Those wheels don't look bad painted. I'd consider OEM wheels if I found them in good shape used

    Those look amazing!!!

    SCS F-5 wheels are something I'd consider if you didn't want to go OEM. Those thing look so damn simple and smooth!

    +1 for keeping it factory. get a set of nice wheels in shit condition for cheap money and have them re-done.

    I plasti-dipped my OEM O/R wheel and painted the toyota emblem fluorescent green and I honestly can't find any aftermarket wheels that I like better. I absolutely LOVE these wheels! Once the plasti-dip eventually goes to shit I'll strip them down and paint them flat black.

    Thank you for answering his question Justin and you are correct. Lightweight and hubcentric are the key factors that we're proud of. When I got my 285s mounted, the tire guys were very surprised that it took very little weights to get them balanced on a set of KM2s. They said that it wasn't common to see this for truck wheels.

    No prob - I'm still fighting myself (and my bank account) over some F-5's!

    Here are a couple of good choices (slightly higher than your budget, but not by much - and well worth it!):
