ya i loved the black bullits but i have to get rid of the, and the ones on the tacoma arent chrome they are boyd coddington billets, but ya the bullits are 9.5 inches wide and i put shocks on the front and the wide wheels cut into the shock. wish i could keep em also. and the wheels from the taco bolt perfectly on. i was shocked also. but im thinking that maybe i should paint the billet wheels black on the inside

I like the billet one's, good spoke pattern if you ask me. I wouldn't put something like that on my truck, but looking at yours they fit perfect! Hope you like what u end up with.

Truck looks clean with the bullits, but add a little more chrome to your truck and it will look cleaner its what it needs. Man I wish I coul dget a set of boyd's they are expensive though only downfall on them is they are billet and the roads around here they will bend, seen it happen to my friends set of 18 inch boyds and I hear the billet is a ***** to keep clean..

I like the Boyd's. They would look sweet on your truck, but I like the street look. Gonna go for that look on mine, but not that low. 18x8 Centerline wheels with 255/55 series Cooper tires.
