What did you end up doing for the center caps, think it looks better as is vs the stock SR center caps....

Not knocking it, just seems like a lateral move to me...
I know its a thing, guess I dont have the balls to do it....
Could have had your offroad wheels power coated all black for $300....
I really like the sr5 stock wheels & had a sr5 before it was bought back due to paint defects.
I really wanted to blackout the sr5 wheels....
Well second truck I went with a sport even though im not a fan of the hood at all....
Hated the wheels.....
So when I got the sport, I had the wheels powder coated..
But then I sold them, when I came to the conclusion that tire options suck when it comes to 18's & your stuck with E load which ride like crap on these trucks, stiff sidewall...

Looks good.

I'm running steelies in the summer, gonna use up the Trail Terrains. In the winter, I'll be running the OEM alloys (powdercoated satin black) with 255/80r17 E Loads. I know the ride will be a bit firmer but I find the Offroad suspension pretty soft so it should balance out, I'm hoping anyway.

Got it, that makes sense...
As I stated I ended up selling that wheel & tire package.
Made the truck look like a skateboard to me....
These trucks need a bigger tire..

I hear ya'.

I love the look of bigger wheels too. I'm looking forward to my pizzacutters for winter, and may like them enough to keep them on all year round.

There's just something about steelies for me. I wish our winters weren't so crappy so I could run steelies all year round w/ bigger tires.

They're the OEMs and are +25. They are only 7inch wide so you won't be able to run 285s, but the factory 265s are a nice fit, not much more poke. I think they look amazing, especially with that gunmetal finish. I was expecting your typical gloss black, glad to have this surprise when they showed up!

Do you have a part number for the lug nuts? They're different than the flat seat style for the aluminum wheels. For the steel wheels they're acorn style.

Thank you!!

Getting conflicting data here from Toyota parts websites lol but I'm pretty sure this is the acorn lug nut the steel wheels will need
