Try this:

UITabBarItem *item1 = [[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"" image:[UIImage imageNamed:@"Icon-Small-50.png"] tag:100];
UITabBarItem *item2 = [[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"" image:[UIImage imageNamed:@"image-50.png"] tag:200];
UITabBarItem *item3 = [[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"" image:[UIImage imageNamed:@"Icon-clip-50.png"] tag:300];
UITabBarItem *item4 = [[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"" image:[UIImage imageNamed:@"Icon-color-50.png"] tag:400];
UITabBarItem *item5 = [[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"" image:[UIImage imageNamed:@"Icon-lock-50.png"] tag:500];

[item1 setSelectedImage:[[UIImage imageNamed:@"Icon-Small-50.png"] imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal]];
[item1 setImageInsets:UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, 0, 0)];

[item2 setSelectedImage:[[UIImage imageNamed:@"image-50.png"] imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal]];
[item2 setImageInsets:UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, 0, 0)];

[item3 setSelectedImage:[[UIImage imageNamed:@"Icon-clip-50.png"] imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal]];
[item3 setImageInsets:UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, 0, 0)];

[item4 setSelectedImage:[[UIImage imageNamed:@"Icon-color-50.png"] imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal]];
[item4 setImageInsets:UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, 0, 0)];

[item5 setSelectedImage:[[UIImage imageNamed:@"Icon-lock-50.png"] imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal]];
[item5 setImageInsets:UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, 0, 0)];

item1.image = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"Icon-Small-50.png"] imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal];

item2.image = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"image-50.png"] imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal];

item3.image = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"Icon-clip-50.png"] imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal];
item4.image = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"Icon-color-50.png"] imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal];
item5.image = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"Icon-lock-50.png"] imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal];
