Rims for my Tacoma
I have a question for you
I have a 07 Tacoma TRD off road
this is the second rim that has bent on me, I may have another one also
I dont seem to be able to find any here locally
are these rims weak, where would be a good place to buy a replacement rim
if I was to get a set of after market rims , what would you recommend, I dont want any thing far out, they a 16" 6 lug
aluminum

Of all three my Tacoma 4WD Off Roads ('01, '05, '10), never a dented rim... Is your tire pressure too low on the rocks?

TW is right, steel is harder to bend - however I have run a lot of stock aluminum wheels over the years on Baja roads and never bent one. Must be my
wife's driving.
