    wanted to give you different views day/night.. 21 SR5P w/stock suspension.. hope this helps! I went with bronze since you don't see it as often than black..also, I dislike how the black you can see the dirt more and looks ashy lol..

    If I get another set of wheels, I would go with a set of dark bronze wheels…

    I really like the matte bronze look for sure... However, the 'practical' me says black (however, I have gunmetal/titanium). Two sets wouldn't suck...

    IMG_5933.jpg Method 316, they are actually much darker than most pics online appear (which was what I wanted). I have since added black lugs.

    Not great pics/angles etc. but it was more for proof that I actually washed and waxed it... Gives you an idea of color.

    2/1 Spacer lift... :crapstorm: Pretty much for leveling only, I couldn't live with the rake...

    The worst this truck sees is snow, trips to the mtns to trailheads etc. and some logging roads to mtb, hike etc.

    I think black, gunmetal, bronze all look good on the right color truck.

    If it is AG I think bronze is pretty sweet looking. I just don't like thinking I may have a trendy/fad color. Kinda basic guy myself...

    I need to get a level on my wife’s new 22 I’ve been contemplating the Cornfed 1” spacer over the 5100s set at .85. I’m also like you tho the 4R won’t see any off-roading other than dirt roads around my area. I just need to get rid of rake. Just dk if I should go the 2/1 or just get the 1” leveling kit. You got any other pics from the side so I can show her. She is nervous because we haven’t lifted a 4R yet only my trucks and currently my 20 Tacoma, which I used the rough country spacer on the front end

    I wish mine came with bronze. Although I'm not complaining because I was after an AG OFP across the nation. I was about to pull the trigger on a white one a few states away from me when my local dealer called saying that a customer's order arrived but they didn't qualify. So without hesitation, I purchased it, even though it didn't have the right color wheels.

    Wheels are an easy fix. Get the color you want with the options you want first! If you can get all of that then, heck yeah!

    The bronze wheels on black car actually look better than I would have thought. With that said, I still think blacked out everything looks the best. Black wheels on white body are 2nd place.

    Saw the title and was immediately thinking black because I hate bronze for the most part... but then saw the question referencing AG. Would love to see a pic of this from a forum member, I'm actually leaning bronze now. Here is one I pulled off Google (lots more available)

    I love bronze on the right wheel. That said, my current wheels are black, and I like them very much.

    Not many have pink, but it doesn't mean they would look good. Black looks better on AG.
