I’d emailed their info contact here (info@methodracewheels.com) based on the same logic, but didn’t really expect to hear back.
It took me a while to realize that the Australian 703 18” wheel is their heavy-duty version which, if it is like the 708-hd model available in the U.S., could be 36+ lbs, making it a difficult decision. Couldn’t find the Australian wheel weight listed anywhere though.
In the meantime, I’m replacing my existing chrome lug nuts with matte black ones and trying to convince myself that the stock 1958 wheels look like titanium anyway…

. They look good, but I hadn’t decided on going with them yet.
I have the 18" wheels that came on the premium package (not sure if they are different from the 1958 wheels, besides offset) and I like the color and the wheels! I would just like a little bit more offset. I'd rather have titanium over gloss black with my Trail Dust, or I would go with the 18" Tacoma TRD wheels with +45 offset.

I've never heard of a Premium pkg coming with 18" wheels, but I have a LC mid trim (base) with 18's. They are a bit different from the '58. I agree - I like the colour of the stock wheels better than black. I've ordered the JAOS Tribe Cross from Japan - a bit lighter colour even.
Took a bit of hunting through different dealer inventories to find the 18" wheels. Even on Base trims. Seems like the 20" rims were a popular upgrade option on cars sent to South Florida.

+30 Offset w/pics
For anyone considering a slightly more aggressive fitment without the "Bro truck" look, this is what 33's on +30 18's looks like. I thought I'd share my pics as this was a bit of an agonizing search for me as I'd wanted to: A) Stick with 18's B) Keep the weight down (the wheels are posted at ~...
