Default Nice wheels.

Gotta ask - where did you get those? At the dealer? Do you mind sharing with me what those set you back? Thanks.

hi guys,
the wheels are from a 2006 Limited 4runner, so they're 18", i have a set of SE wheels as well, but i really wanted to step it up an inch (not ready for the "bling") and modernize the GX. i really like how the wheels are more proportional to the vehicle and not look small.

Dan.....

I'm assuming that the wheel pictured below is the same as the wheels you got. What tire size did you get ??

I've been contemplating on doing what you did. The wheel size I come up with that would have the same circumference would be 265-60-18.

Cap - is the one you have pictured an OEM Toyota wheel or an aftermarket replica--just curious? Also, where are you finding it (online, at a dealer)?

Thanks.

cap- i went with 265-60-18 as it is the same circumference as the 265-65-17, but in all honesty i'd rather have 265-65-18 as it is the same circumference as my 265-70-17 MT/R's which imo look way better. either way

llcc1097- sorry i missed your post, i too bought them from OEM RIMS

I guess I will go with the chromed 18" 4runner wheels and tires. I was hoping that the 2007 GX would come out with larger wheels, but there was no mention of it in the post that was just listed.
