    Dunno you may have a point. I was checking around here at a wheel shop because I'm thinking about it on 20" silverish aluminum wheels. They want $800 for all 4 and they haven't see the chips in the finish. Plus the tires suck. Nice set of 18" take offs with good tires for $2K seems reasonable

    I've seen the 18" TRDs on Pgh CL for $500 without tires. $800 with stock tires. Some people want more, but if you're patient, you should be able to get them for well under $2k. This ad just popped up today for the 20's https://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/pts/d/warrendale-toyota-tundra-2019-aluminum/7017261833.html.

    Also, i always click "include nearby areas" on craigslist. You can get some great deals in some smaller nearby towns if you're willing to drive a bit.

    I have two sets in Satin. Satin gets my vote. Gloss is way easier to wash, but I find it needs washed more often because it looks dirty sooner.

    I voted for gloss black.
    Satin/ matte black is a bitch to clean brake dust off of.
    Ask me how I know.......

    Another vote for satin black. Been running black wheels since mid-2000s. Had matte black on my old truck, and satin on this one. Never glossy...
