Do any of you have thoughts or experience on whether the gray TRD wheels are easier to keep looking clean compared with the black TRD wheels? I love the look of the black, but worry about the look long term.

Actually black wheel hide a lot of dirt and grime. My previous car had black wheels and they weren't that hard to clean. My old Pathfinder's chrome wheels were the worst. Lots of buffing. I think gray will be about the same. Maybe slightly less for road salt stains.

I am not a fan of the stock Bridgestone Duelers.They are fine on dry pavement but suck with hydroplaning and snow. Offroad wasn't too bad, but I have not been in deep mud nor ultra challenging terrain yet. Also the stock tire hold rocks and gravel like no other tire. It is like being at a shooting range on gravel roads when the tires throw rocks at my Nerf Bars. Ping, ping, ping. I cannot decide whether to go with after market wheel or TRD SEMA wheels. I have an MGM SR5 Premium and think the Gray SEMA wheels will looks slick. Thoughts?
you may need to remove the front mud flaps, however I'm curious as to why you would use 255's. A lot of snowy roads?

This is a good deal. Even sweeter with the 15% off coupon. Free Shipping and comes from a dealer as well.
FYI, those are not OEM. OEM is 7” wide not 8”, also are matte. Might be a kncockoff. Only “copy” I would use is the FN brand personally.

I have heard great results from that size. Yes, I have snowy roads, and yes it slightly narrower (1/2"), but again I think they'll fit the vehicle perfectly. The size is lighter, is a 32" tire, and from what I have read makes the vehicle perform well under most circumstances. It has been a long debate between these and 275's. I have come to the conclusion that the lighter and narrow tire will perform well for my intended purposes.

I was contemplating 275/70/17 Wildpeaks at 57 lbs. or 255/75/17 at 39 lbs. a tire. Both 32"s

The 255's with a light wheel will probably make the car perform better in most situations save for deep mud or rock crawling. Also may improve city MPG.

For fun, try to convince me otherwise... I am open minded.

I thought because they are advertised as Toyota OEM that they are legit. They have great reseller ratings. It may just be a typo. If not they are shady for advertising
Toyota OEM.

Those are definitely not OEM. They are reproductions and not very good ones. Look closely at the spokes and center caps. You can get OEM ones shipped for less than $100 more.

Are there any issues i should be aware of? Is it just a simple swap?

Thanks in advance for your input! happy friday!
It’s a simple swap ,did the same. Sr5 wheels I sold for $400 or so and bought the trd pro wheels at 650 or so . It’s purely cosmetic look though , I would prefer an aftermarket wider wheel but happy with it overall and cost wasn’t bad

Well, i pulled the trigger and ordered em. I think the sale ends 4/1(although i bet there will be another eventually).

I'm sure they will look funny on stock tires, but i like that I'm pushing things in the right direction to get the look i want. Between the wheels, the cargo box and the chinese grill, i'm already headed down a rabbit hole with upgrades/mods/changes aren't I? I'm excited about it though as I don't usually do this kind of stuff.

How feasible would it be for me to get $100/wheel? It's SR5 wheels with minor scuffs and scratches from when the dealer re-balanced my tires many many times.

I have seen brand new SR5 rims on ebay going for less than that shipped.
