That didn't take long

Paint is barely dry on the new Tacoma’s and this guy already got his tasteless 18 inch wheels with 33 inch tires on there.

I guess there is something to be said for sticking with the same basic foundations, as I am guessing this diff drop kit came from the 2nd gen truck.

18s are the new 16s.

It doesn’t seem that long ago that it was a bit of a big deal when a car came with 18” wheels.

Would look better with stock wheels, but the stance is nice (if a little nose high...maybe its just me)

Thing is...the TRD comes with 16 or 17 inch wheels and if you are legit off roading there is a reason to stick with the smaller wheels.

I’m still convinced that 18s are as big as wheels should get.

“legit off roading”

I’m going to wager this fella isn’t doing a whole lot of that.

I don’t know, I think it just depends on the context. There are lots of vehicles with 19-20” wheels that look nice to me.

Think of it this way:

Dudes like this purchase soft compound AT/MT tires because they “look cool”. They proceed to drive 12,000 miles a year on nothing but paved roads with them and end up having to replace them much earlier than they would have to replace all seasons.

They buy more AT/MT tires, which means more profits for tire manufacturers. More profits means more R&D. More R&D means better tires for guys like you who actually used the for their intended purpose.

We’re talking Daytona after the 500 level tackiness.

Maybe he just parts-swapped from his old one before selling/trading it in?

There is nothing worse than putting ugly aftermarket rims on your truck.

And it will never see so much as a gravel parking lot.

Could be the dealer that did that. I see new Jeeps and trucks on the lot with those ugly ugly rims and cheap lift kits.

Its a nice lift kit, new leafs, new coils with shocks, new diff drop...its all legit stuff...but I wouldn’t put it past the dealer. Im just upset that this kind of thing happens to nice Tacomas.
