I'm thinking of getting steel wheels for my Tacoma. Cons?

Why not? Can’t think of anything that could go wrong.

Added weight, rust are a couple of the things I've heard mentioned.

For steelies?

Steel wheels are heavier, which impacts ride and handling. They rust almost instantaneously in South Louisiana. They're actually not that durable; base-model Imprezas used to destroy them pretty frequently at rallycross events. (I think Subaru finally upgraded to alloys across-the-board.)

Their only real advantage is 1) they're cheap and 2) if you put hubcaps over them, you don't really have to worry about fricking them up.

What’s wrong with the stock wheels?

The TRD OR wheels look pretty good IMO. I’d keep them until they looked worn out.

I dont have the TRD wheels. I have the old man wheels and tires.

Which I do plan to use til the tires are wore out.

I basically have the 2wd Tacoma wheels and tires on mine. And that's ok, but when I need new tires I plan to upgrade a little.

Try the 4Runner TRD wheels. They look good and they have the same bolt pattern.

I wouldn’t do steelies. The only good thing about them is that they are cheap.

1) heavier, more rolling resistance, less mpgs

2) more unsprung weight will negatively affect handling

3) will eventually rust

Which wheels do you have? I plastidipped my crap wheels on my 2nd gen and it worked well for several years til I sold it. I have 2020 pro wheels on my 3rd gen.
