I have been considering for a while now the idea of getting a new set of wheels. However, it has proven to be a difficult decision simply because it is something I want but not something I need. I will need new tires within the next six months so the idea of keeping my current wheels and just getting new tires is a great possibility. On the other hand, the wheels I am looking at are not real expensive so there may be room in the budget to get both wheels and tires but new tires will come at a later date than the wheels. What do you guys think?

Definitely the Raptors...maybe keep the TRDs as a "wheeling only" set with some Treadwirghts on them?

Found out today the MT sidebiters are on back order till October but the Raptors are available. Not sure what I will do at the moment.

haha yeah 4 votes and one of them is my own lol
They also have a machined face version so I am wondering how those would look. Did a little photo shop on one of my pictures earlier to get an idea of how it would look.

I voted for keeping the TRDs. I love the way they look.

I love the Raptors. I dont like "bling bling" wheels on FJs and the Sidebiters are pushing it with the glossy finish. The TRDs are nice too but I just like black, matte finish wheels on the FJ.

If I do get a new set it will most likely be the Raptors, they are the least expensive. Definitely, all black Rolando. I do like the machined face look but not so sure it works with the FJ theme.

Photoshop the black Raptors onto your truck and lets see what they look like.
