Choosing New Rims - TundraTalk.net

Hey, I was looking for some second opinions for rims. I am interested in getting the V-Drive rims from MB Motorsports. Cant decide to get the machined with black inserts or solid chrome. Let me know what you think.

Is your truck black or Blue?

Andres · 05-25-2008, 10:41 AM

I would go with machined black

The chrome would look sweet on your truck!

Its black, and I have chromed out all the door handles and put a billet grill.

I like the one on the left. I like shiny things. Im easy to amuse.

ltengine110 · 05-25-2008, 12:54 PM

GET THE CHROME ONES!

Zachary, dude let me know how it goes, I might get some wheels soon. I am considering these V-drive as well.

by the way which tire are you getting? I think am going with the copper tires 275/60 20R . These copper tires have excellent reviews and great price.

SWTONDRA · 05-26-2008, 03:13 AM

Do you guys think its a waste to replace stock 20's with aftermarket ones... I mean dont you wanna 90% of the time upgrade the size? I have the stock 20's on my limited. but I want some bigger wheels. I dont want to lift my truck because its not a 4wd, so I was thinkin about gettin 24's... I really liked those mb wheels too...

Zachary3kgt · 05-26-2008, 03:28 AM

Yea, I was gonna get a set of Novakane's but once I saw the price on the V-Drives, I changed my mind, lol. For tires Im gonna go with the Nitto Terra Grappler 33x12.5x20(LT305/55R20). I got a Toytec 3" lift on the way too, so its gonna look good.

Zachary3kgt · 05-26-2008, 03:43 AM

I dont think its a waste to replace stock rims, if you want a more unique look and better performance. Ive changed rims on every vehicle Ive had.

808toyrundra · 05-26-2008, 04:47 AM

I would get the machined ones, they look more "rugged". How much do these wheels cost by the way?

Zachary3kgt · 05-26-2008, 05:25 AM

The machined black are $188 ea, and the chrome are $245 ea.

jproell2 · 05-26-2008, 08:05 AM

If you already chromed your handles out, you may as well go ahead and get the chrome wheels to match. You don't want to mismatch.
