Does anyone have these Level 8 rims on there taco ? Discount tire has them in a 17 x8 , 0 offset for $114.00 each in bronze charcoal and black I was hoping to see a pic of a real truck with them not the website cartoon one thanx Screenshot_2018-09-18-17-04-09.png
 
And the spoke is not to skinny. And on a separate note I just finished rotating my tires on the taco and I have not touched it mechanically since I bought it in January , from a dealership thzt claims to do those million so called point check up on used cars well they obviously dont check the f'king lug nuts to see if they are torqued or not ! ! !! I found at least 8 that i could have taken off with a pair of pliers WTF
Im so pissed we been driving this thing everywhere.:mad::eek::mad:
 
They also have them in 17 x 9 w /12 mm offset .I think backspace is like 4.5 inches on both rims . $ 134.00.

They kind of look like Volk te37 knock offs. If you just want a general ideal of what it looks like just google te37.

That’s insane man. Unacceptable and can get someone killed. I’d definitely be talking to the dealership owner.

It's probly overkill but when I rotate my tires I check the torque at 100 miles......500 miles.......then again at 1,000 miles.......then wait for the next rotation.
 
Nice wheels. The first thing I do after having tires mounted or wheels rotated is check the torque on lug nuts and tire pressure. I was in a hurry once and didn't check the tire pressure after having summer tires swapped. I drove about thirty miles or so on the interstate and blew a tire because they were way under inflated. Never again.
