Nevertheless, by the time you have them mounted, balanced, TPMS swapped, etc. you've got another $100 into it. Plus your time... And I',m saying all this because I do in fact like the Sport 4th gen wheels a lot. If he had SR5 wheels, I can see doing the swap. He's got a nice looking rig as it sits now.

Because mine are starting to look pretty bad. I bought the truck used, it's originally a Maryland truck and the wheels are starting to lose clearcoat, getting down to the cast aluminum in places. This deal came up with a good friend of mine and instead of exchanging cash, I offered to wash, buff, and wax his truck and he said sure. Yeah it's hard work, but something I enjoy.
I also have another buddy that works for a tire shop that will put them on for free after hours, so no cost out of my pocket.
These are actually pretty sharp wheels and the color is awesome. Worst case scenario, I don't like them on itx it gives me a chance to have mine blasted and repainted and still have a spare set of wheels for winter
