Am I weird for liking simple wheels?

    I see some wild ass wheels out here, like tons of zigs and zags, bolt heads that dont seem to do anything, shapes and shiny bits, etc. I'm not bagging on anyone for being into that, hell it can look really good on the right vehicle and for sure wheels are a personal choice.

    Anyone want to suggest a black, plain Jane, 18" wheel that fits our trucks and doesn't run me $250? I'm overwhelmed when I try the wheel stores. I'm looking to do a 3" down the road, but for now it'll sit stock.

    What are your stockers ? Steel or alum ? Powder coat yours ?

    The SR5 aluminums, but powder coat will cost me as much as a new set around here. I will be "Dipping" them until I find that wheel that calls to me though.

    San Jose cant be much different than San Diego. Should be able to get them powder coated for $100 a wheel max. Here's mine in a darker gray.....

    Yeah, same here. I think many members have some awesome wheels on their trucks but I love my stock Limited wheels. Wouldnt mind trading for a pair of Platinum wheels though

    FN BFD's match your desire for a simple wheel, but run $25/wheel over what your price range is.

    Agreed, that's why they'll be goin on my pickup sometime soon. If you want to see em on our pickups, checkout @matluth's or @dcsleeper408's builds.

    Lol ... Guess I'm one of the guilty ones that has the zig zag, bolt head, shiny, shapely wheels. I'm okay with that, except when I need to wash them :frusty:

    Im pulling the trigger on some black method standards. The set will cost me about 880 bucks, so that's a little more than you want to spend (at 250 a wheel)

    Contact Mr wheel deal. They can give you a list of simple wheels they have in stock. Good people to work with.

    Mr. Wheel Deal is based out here... I could pick them up for you and test fit them to make sure they're exactly what you want. I'll even send you pics of it in my truck ☺

    I want something that isn't a spoked wheel. That's the style today, I know. I'm old- I liked 10 hole "Bud" style wheels or aluminum slotted wheels from days gone by. I can't find anything that fits that isn't a spoke style wheel. :mad:

    Saw the Mickey Thompson's during my search... Looks like a 17 max size though.

    No Alan you're not weird, you have taste. I too like simple designs. I too am older(never old!). If I had a new Tundra here's the rim I would be running. A real timeless classic. IMG_1149.jpgIMG_1152.jpg

    I'm in your boat. I can't believe how many wheels have fake bead locks on them.

    Level 8 makes some clean and simple classic looking wheels. I had the Level 8 Tracker wheels on previous 2002 tundra. And I'm thinking about putting them on my 2017 now. Only drawback is those wheels come with a 12+ offset and I'm thinking I really want to stay in the 18 to 25 range. Hmm.
