More of a request, I want to get new wheels along with tires for a Gen 1, without lowering. Do you guys know/have any Gen1 pics with regular height and aftermarket wheels (18, 19s , 20s) ? I tried searching, didn't get much luck. I want to know how bad it looks and if its worth it.

hmmm I guess I should get new tires for the stockies, and save money for the Spring.

Does anyone (that lives in a place where snow falls hard in the winter) ride their aftermarket wheels? Or does everyone just switch to stockies?

I have always found it better to switch. Keep in mind that tires for the stocks cost less and last longer. You'll be saving money and not damagin ur rims. I know around here, they throw SO MUCH sand and salt when it snows, its so bad for the rims and paint.

hmmm would look kinda funny on mine, since I don't have a TRD kit to save me. Or a black ride,(IMO looks better and kinda visually hides that gap)
