That's a toss up!
I have an 07 SR5 as well. And due to the fact I had to jump on some tires right away, before rims, I have 16" Goodyear Duratracs. No big deal. I like 16" and think it looks great when done right. But, I'm in the exact same position as you, but my vehicle is white. I also have a spoiler and stock bumper... so, for me... I've decided on the TRD rims. I think they are super clean looking and have a really strong presence. I really like those Konigs, and was considering them in another color for my ride, but all said and done, I just felt like there wasn't a lot of "meat" to them. I think they would look better in 17" or 18" for most vehicles.
However, based on your vehicle color, lack of spoiler and the photoshopped examples, i actually voted on the bronze Konigs for you. They look awesome on your ride! Bronze just looks great against the black and it's quite unique.
Of course, the TRD rims are a safe bet, and I'm sure they would look better in person versus the photoshopped picture.
Happy shopping!

offset
Oh, and someone correct me if I'm wrong.... but, I believe the Konig has a more pushed out offset. I don't recall the exact numbers, but I believe the TRD pushes out about .5 inches, while the Konig pushes out closer to 1 inch.
Can someone validate this? If this is the case, maybe spacers would be unnessary to achieve the stance you are looking for.

There's a .25 inch difference in the wheels. I'll be happy with the stance either way. I'm leaning towards the konigs now because I can get them for a killer deal. About 200 dollars less on the set of 5 than what I would pay for the trds

I like factory wheels. If not the FJ I really like the Sport 6 Spoke. Here they are in semi-gloss powder coat.

I really like that color bronze on the Konigs. I have the 17" Level 8 MK6 and I wasn't a huge fan of their gold color (no offense to the guy who just posted them). I ended up doing the Murdered out thing.
I'm really surprised how close the vote is currently. 18 to 20 for the TRD wheels.
Just to help out the gold vote...
^^^ That one right there seals it. :wow2:

I'm not opposed to bronze, but the style of those bronze ones look like they belong on a sports car.
Powder coat the ones you have? There's about no limit to what you can do. Check out some bronze samples here. Sorry for the size of their links.
It comes down to me wanting a wider stance and I am not going to run wheel spacers. Thank you for that different view though!
