$1,186.68


that beats 4wheelpart by $122 So what do you guys think?

[mtnyota]

Go for it!

4-wheel parts is a rip off anyway.

[BeaterToyota]

Yep, 4 Wheel Parts sucks ass, and has been sued many times for ripping people off.

I have bought wheels and/or tires from www.summitracing.com and www.ntwonline.com. Both have good prices. You can compare them and see if they're better than tirepackage.com

[PrezidentRedz]

Cool thanks guys.. Ill compare and let you know..

[PrezidentRedz]

Quick question... Should I get steel or black aluminm im trying to save all of the weight I can... Just because i only have the 2.7L??

[Donkey]

Steel bends back. So if you wheel it hard its nice to have. Your really not saving that much weight.

I was a big advocate for steel wheels until recenly. I borrowed a set of aluminum wheels and the performance difference is very noticable. I have gained 2 MPG, can take hills on the highway faster, and when I "Blip" thee throttle off road the tires rotate quicker. This was going from 37" IROK's on 17X8" steel rims to 37" MTR's on 15X10 aluminum rims. my tires are currently 13 pounds lighter each and the little weight savings in rotating mass does make a difference.

I just purchased a set of 15X10 aluminums since I have to give my borrowed set back to the original owner.

[PrezidentRedz]

Ok because my truck allready has extra weight, EX, rear bumper, slidders, skids and soon a front... SO its allready a slug on the high way...i was looking @ 16x10 just so i can clear the brakes and run a 31x12.5x16....should I start a poll to see what I should get lol...

Hey Kajo think rolling resistance might be playing a part there? Bias Irok vs a Radial MTR. I'd think the MTR will have much less rolling resistance.

I thought that 15" would work fine clearing the brakes until the newer ones came out. Well the 01-04? had certain fitment issues..some 15" would work and some wouldnt. But pre-01...i didnt think it mattered

Well thats not what iv been hearing...the only 15" that will fit would be the ones from wheels or bigger, and some 15" on that list we have.... plus I think 15-16 I don't think it would look that much different... I just want a wider tire, and it to look nice since its my DD... + the weight difference between the steel rim and the Alloy is 13Lbs each.. so thats an extra 52Lbs....I not an expert and like I said im trying to save some gas money!!! so what should i do guys, im too damm indecisive....HELP!

[larc68]

i put 15's on my 01 tacoma that came with 16" rims. 16" wheels and tires are alot more too usually. just looking to give ya some options. maybe someone else will chime in

[PrezidentRedz]

Well I appricat your help, If I can get 15" wheels I will that will give me a lil more tire with 31s.. How well do the Wheelers black alloys hold up?

[larc68]

Ive never heard anything bad about them but you can also check out summit for the cragar soft 8s. i have them on my 88 4r and they were about 36 a rim i think. they were 15x8s though

[PrezidentRedz]

Well i ended up getting tires from 4wheelparts, got the best deal there, but now im pissed, I orderd the tires a month ago and there still not in, and now they wolnt be until the end of june! Swamper hasent made any tires yet.... :(

[BeaterToyota]

What tires are they that 4Wheel Parts doesn't have them in stock? I would cancel the order and buy somewhere else or get a different tire. :smt102

Last two times I ordered tires/wheels from places I got them within a week. www.ntwonline.com the first time and www.summitracing.com the second time.

[Ted]

Summit racing does ship very fast.

[Mike]

and they price match

[PrezidentRedz]
