X-Runner: Wheels / Rims: Aftermarket: Which Ones?

The 20's wount rub, the XR is sky high. Get the 20's and fill the wheel wells! Racing Harts are light as hell so the rotational mass should be about the same as stock.

There is plenty of room to run 20's. And yes I need the 20's to fit the 16" rotors. I looked at Racing harts but it looks like the biggest they make is 19"s. The 5zigens are 20" and aren't all chromed out Dub style. Which I don't want. Also I get hooked up with 5zigen from the Rotora sponsorship. And I liked the style of the hyper 5ZR's so it worked out. The HRE's are just too damn expensive. Maybe one day I'll get some. About the brakes, the guys over at Rotora really want me to run the 16" kit. It might take a little away from performance but after the supercharger and the full JP exhaust I don't think It'll matter much. And nobody has a 16" kit yet so I'll be the first. http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

im trying to decide between 19 or 20 for my x runner, but im definately going to get work vs-xx, gold w/ polished lip

definity get pics, i havent seen a red car with gold rims yet. only bronze...or maybe im just not loooking.

and those 5zigens in 20s' would be badass especially with that silver on the blue... http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif

that truck would look nice if you took off all the ugly flared and skirts or whatever the hell that ugly [censored] on there is. then i think itd be pretty nice slammed on 20's...otherwise id laugh at it.

20's are just 1" too big for my taste on a sport truck.. a 19" is still large.. but i really wouldn't go any higher than 18"... hit a bump goin a bi too fast on a 20" rim and i'd hate to see the aftermath http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jawdrop.gif

and to think they make 27" rims! It makes the truck look like a damn hot wheels toy

don't 4get the 34's they have out for the H2. http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puke.gif

the 27s are actually just a 22 with a 27" face. they use special tires by nitto, but they are 22s. there are some 28s for hummers and any other 8 lug truck though.

I think 20s would be ok on the XR as long as you get a decent size tire for it.

I'd go with Black Anodized CCW wheels. Mmm... http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Hey guys, I was thinking about going with 20"s or 22"s on the X. I want some good size rims but nothing like it will raise it and make it look funny. I want a smooth look.

Any ideas anyone or photoshops?

To the Blue taco with blackish rims----what size are those?

The black ones are 18s on cams I believe

They're photoshopped.

I think they make a 255/30/22, but you'd be better off with 20s and a little more tire.

no bigger than a 19" IMO.. its a street truck dude!

Best rims EVER http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

No seriously, I was about to suggest 19" too...

But why go 19 and make the truck slower? Just for looks? Thats poser territory... I'd stick with 18" and grind some tires... They're cheaper for the $ and you can go through low profiles faster than higher profile usually... The compounds makes a difference but to obtain high durability in larger tires, it's $$$$....

Stick with the sub 20's and be a performance driver http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I wouldn't bet on 19s being heavier. Anyone care to weigh an XR wheel/tire? I bet it's around 50lbs or more.

i know volk wheels makes a 20 inch now here is a pic of it

i think you should go with 20's with a nice size wheels and it shouldnt raise you or lower you i dont think you should go with 22's i think it would look weird unless it was dropped but i think you should stay with a racing wheel look rather than a chrome or billet but thats just my two cents

I have chrome 20s on mine they look really nice but on the other hand they dont look like 20s cuz the of the space is soo much. i would to get 20s or 22s imho

I have to agree on the performance, and I have to agree on the budget side. I think I am going to wait till my factory tires wear down some, before I even think of getting some new rims and tires. Have to stay at the same weight or lighter though. spinning weight is very crucial in performance. oh btw, big ass rotors on these might llok really cool, but they will ruin your performance too. Personally I dont think I will go more than 2" over stock on mine.

back on topic ......... stock xrunner wheel/tire combo is a whopping 57.5 lbs. Shouldn't be tough to stay right around that with some decent quality forged 20's.
the combo I'm considering is 18x9.5 or 18x10 with 275/40 18 which should come in just under 50 lbs with enkei rpf1's and toyo's.

brakes? better braking would be nice, but I don't see it as a necessity with stock power levels. I would like better feel though ....... ss brake lines should take care of that.

I'm going to go with a 19" work VS-XX

http://www.worksuperwheels.com/images/photo_vsxx_large_01.jpg

in this finish:

http://www.worksuperwheels.com/images/vs_xx/1_norm.gif

nice choice. should be able to pull off the 10.5 +29 with a 100mm lip (4") if my memory is working correctly.

Believe it or not, here in my po-dunk town, there's a red X with chrome 20's. Objectionable choice of wheels, but much better looking, imo. However, there's still a lot of gap between the tire and fender. http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Sorry, no pic available. I'll try to keep my digi on me in case I see him around.

The problem with the large wheel gap isn't the rim size. it's the actual tire size. If you get 20s but keep the same tire diameter, yea, it'll still look like a big gap. A slightly larger diameter tire would fill the wheel well better, but then there's some needed ecu reprogramming needed to fix the speedometer.

I remember seeing some member that had them, but I can't find the link anywhere. I think the pic was from a car show or meet. Does anyone have pics of the stock Chrome XR wheels?

sorry don't know the link but do you really want chrome wheels?

i would http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/exactly.gif

Actually those look really nice chrome. I'm not a big fan of chrome (would happily take a set of painted silver rims.. easier to maintain, too) but those XR rims chromed look sweet http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

thanks for the link, now I just have to figure out if they would look good on my speedway blue X. Opinions? I really like it on the black one pictured.

Oh you mean my chrome rims from the dealer? oops yeah had to pay extra but it's worth it.

hey midninght do yo have anymore pics of your truck from like the side?

As soon as i get them uploaded to my computer i will have them on here or somewhere so you can all see it.

heres the link where i have my x on som dubs chromed out too

http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/781799

I'm thinking seriously running 22's, but would still consider 20's. The wheels are from a company called DPE engineering and would be custom made. I'm undecided as to size and style.(no chrome) What do you guys think. All opinions are welcome...good or bad!

The other wheel was the variant 5

I think they would look killer, I really would like to have those on my X

Thanks Blangkang. Which wheel do you like better?

i love those wheels, and like the second ones better. can you link me to those rims? how much are you talking/ there are what i was looking at, mostly because they are cheap.

I didn't even see a diffrence. I like them both LOL

These are the ones that i'm looking into also, the MB Motoring Senna but in chrome instead of black/gunmetal colored. I think they would look sweet.

Hopefully this link works. If not, go to any search engine, and type in "DPE WHEELS" and it should pull up the website. Also, A place called "Supreme Power Parts"(www.supremepowerparts.com) is where I would order them. If you call, talk to Eric, and tell him Derick refered you. Here's what he quoted me: 22 x 8.5 $755 ea
22 x 10 $770 ea

Above price in BLACK!

I like them both also. If you are more concerned with looks, go 22s on the XR. If you want a little better performance, go 20s.

that's A LOT of money for wheels. http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif probably the only one to have them though.

22's for show stocks for the strip http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif I am prob going 22s just havn't seen the rims I wan't. I am thinking about getting the ones like the WRXs have the bronze finish. i think that [censored] would look pimp

sorry to be off topic, but I have bronze wheels on my blue XR in GT4. http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

really any screen shots of it? Hows it look?

resembles the look of WRX's, which I also like. I'll take a pic later if I remember.

end of post hijack. http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Killer

I like the second one's better.

Just make sure you get the right offset...other than that, they both look awsome! G'luck bro. Go with some 22's and bag that bitch...

those are 230 each..........

i like the 2nd ones better too, either way they are gonna look freakin sweet

im not a big fan of split-spoke rims... but they look pretty good http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif

I think these would be cool on a blue x-runner

Those would look cool, but without the blue lights inside. Unless you are trying for a role in 3 Fastest, 3 Most Furious.

The problem with the large wheel gap isn't the rim size. it's the actual tire size. If you get 20s but keep the same tire diameter, yea, it'll still look like a big gap. A slightly larger diameter tire would fill the wheel well better, but then there's some needed ecu reprogramming needed to fix the speedometer.



...Not to mention changing the overall gear ratio to the ground to a taller and slower one. www.tirerack.com (http://www.tirerack.com) has 70 different wheels, and you can find out how much they weigh. Many of the chrome ones are way up there in weight. Want a nice chrome wheel? Get Forgeline wheels--5 year finish warranty and amazingly light.

I put these 22s on the blue one. http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.tirerack.com/images/wheelrack/wheel_images/Zinik/Z12_Mazotti.QA.22.gif

view different wheels on your XR here (http://www.tirerack.com/upgrade_garage/WheelSearch.jsp?autoMake=Toyota&autoModel=Tacoma+X-Runner&autoYear=2005&autoModClar=)

you can also change the color of your truck. not the best selection of wheels, but enough to get an idea maybe
