    First off, thanks to those of you who've posted pics of your new RAY10s! I've admired them so much I stole some of your pics to help me out. Also, please don't tell me I need a lift/level--you're preaching to the choir! I'll probably end up going with Bilstein 6112s at 1.9" eventually.

    Anyway, I did some amateur photo editing on my Note 8 to get a rough idea of what these rims will look like on my truck. I've narrowed it down to either the gunmetal or black RAY10s or the Fuel Beasts. Thoughts?

    Edit: So now I've narrowed it down to these four options:
    • Powder coat current rims gloss black to look like pre-2019 TRD Pro rims
    • 18" Fuel Beasts, +20 offset
    • 17" Beasts, +35 offset
    • 2019 TRD Pro rims
    I'll probably be putting some Wildpeak A/T3Ws on whatever option I go with this spring (most likely 275/70s if I stay with 18"s).

    Thoughts? I have an opportunity to buy the 2019 Pro rims locally. Price is good (not great), but there's just something about them I don't like 100%...

    either of the Ray10, but I like the gunmetal on cement better than I thought I would and I'm getting a bit tired of always having black wheels....maybe gunmetal Ray10

    Black Ray10 FTW! The black contrasts nicely with the gray. The Beasts are hideous. :crapstorm:

    Bilstein 5100s, Method Standard 18x9 +18 offset, 285/65R18 Toyo A/T2 Xtreme, trailer brake controller, bed liner, camper shell. All were on the truck at time of purchase.
    I would go with either the gunmetal or black Ray10's. The Beasts only have the concave look if you get them in a low offset, which without a lift will most likely require cutting, plus I don't know how far you want your tires to stick out. The gunmetal seems like it will match your paint well, but the contrast with the black wheel is nice too.

    Thanks for the responses, y'all. It's a tough decision for sure. A neighbor of mine had Beasts on his 2nd gen Tundra and they looked amazing, and I'm pretty sure he had the +25 offset, but those RAY10s everyone has been posting pics of look sweet as well. The RAY10s are out of stock anyway, so that will give me some more time to think about it.

    That's definitely on my list! I'm trying to hold out for the new Pro grille to become available so I don't have to mess with the safety sense stuff, then I'll get end caps at the same time.

    Go black rays and rebadge your truck with black badges and door handles and mirrors. That’s what will clean that up visually. Or totally debage it and still do black mirrors and door handles.

    I'd go bronze. That would be a nice color scheme with cement!!

    If you're against bronze, go black ray 10's.

    • Powder coat current rims gloss black to look like pre-2019 TRD Pro rims
    • 18" Fuel Beasts, +20 offset

    The fuel beasts take my vote, but I tend to have bad taste in wheels :notsure:

    Powder coating is also a great option.
