    Hi Guys,

    I am about to put new wheels and tires on my 2008 Silver Gen two Tundra crewMax limited. The truck has a 3” Toytwch lift on it.

    I really like the method NV 305 wheels. I originally saw them in the matte black with machined face and liked them but then I saw the bronze and I started to really like those too.

    Typically don’t like the machined or chrome wheels or fake bead locker look, this is the first wheel I think I’ve ever liked in that finish and look but I love them.

    The bronze I really like too just not sure if it sticks out too much on a silver truck so help me decide! Below is a picture of my truck and then two pictures of it with the silver and then two pictures of a gen three with the bronze. I couldn’t find a picture of a gen two with the bronze. One of the bronze pictures is actually a member’s truck here so thank you to whoever’s truck that is for posting the pic!

    And of course if you have pictures of your truck with either of these wheels on it post them to help me decide especially if it’s the silver truck!

    I picked machined, but think these would look good as well.

    Sorry no pic, I still have the stock wheels that came on my truck. I’m thinking of getting lighter set of wheels, to offset the heavier tires I have. I think the pro rims weigh around 33 pounds, I looking to get under 30 pounds a wheel.

    I voted bronze, but I agree that the blacks could look good as well

    I got the bronze but my truck is white. For your truck I like either black or machined.

    Yeah normally I really like black rims butt and silver truck I think it just makes the wheels disappear so I don’t like black on silver

    I agree. I voted machined. I think the machined on those style of Methods looks the best on a silver Tundra. But you can’t lose with either of the three colors (machined, bronze or black).

    I’ll even the votes out with bronze. They both look super killer. Hard choice. A win in my books either way
