Wheels: Limited Bright Chrome vs. TRD Matte Black

[Baltimore]

Switched out the OEM Limited Bright Chrome 18" wheels, center caps, and lugs for the OEM TRD Matte Black wheel, heritage bronze center caps, and matching lugs. I think the heritage caps help it really pops with the body color.

Which means that I now have a full set of the 18" chrome wheels, matching lugs and center caps sitting in boxes next to the actual TRD red/black center caps that I didn't use. Related, I have the shiny chrome side mirror covers with factory PPE also now sitting in boxes. Guess I should take some photos and do some for-sale posts.

Looks nice. I did the same. Now you need to finish it out!

Swapped to 20" Tundra OEM wheels. Love the limited; didn't care for all the chrome.

What was your approach on the door and tailgate handles?

The only things I haven't changed out are the front grill/bumper and the tailgate handle surround. Since my truck is silver, the chrome on those parts doesn't really stand out as it does on darker colors so I'm still trying to decide on that.

The door handles are just stick on covers. They are high quality and fit nice. All door handle sensors work as they should with them installed. I may decide to swap the handles out for the gloss black TRD Pro handles some day but I didn't want to have to remove all 4 door cards to access them.

what size tires did you end up using? I like 20" tundra wheels on the taco, but didnt know if a more aggressive tires will rub or not.

I went with the TRD black rims for my sport. I really like the look. Kept the OEM 18” rims for my winter tires.

The 2025 4runner limited is executed much better. I particularly like the rims.

Black stick-on covers for the door handles. I did plasti-dip (actualy, Rustoleum Peel-Coat, same thing) for the rear surround. Super easy. Remove and coat 8-10 times.

33" tires on the 20" wheels. 1" larger than stock. No issues at all. Even did the full-size spare with the same rim. The spare just fits with about 1/4" extra room. FYI.

Are those handle covers? Or did you paint in place? Or did you figure out how to remove the outer door handle trim?

Same as others have felt, I'm not inclined to pull door cards/panels apart. Similar to a silver body, I don't feel it "screams" at you as much on the Bronze Oxide once the lettering, mirror backs, trim lettering, and wheels are removed.

Covers, check out Yotaverse

Do you have a link for the door handles? I only see one version on Yotaverse and its different than what you have. It covers the entire handle.

I don’t unfortunately. I was so disappointed with the ones that covered the whole handle, I requested a refund and they offered to send me these. Contact them directly and ask.

What was wrong with the ones that cover the whole handle? Mine fit great, touch sensor for open/close works the same. What am I missing?
