powder coated OEM wheels

I found some "black chrome" wheels for sale on this forum. Now I have some chrome 09 4runner wheels for sale but can't post a classified ad.
Anyway, I think these wheels set the truck off.

I'm very happy with the purchase.

I was told that my old wheels were 4runner wheels. I was browsing sewell's site and found these...

So the OEM chrome GX wheels don't have a twist in the spoke?

I love black chrome wheels, mostly on sports cars but I think it looks great on your truck. My 2012 wheels have the twist like your new wheels. I'm not sure about the pics on Sewell's site.

My experience is that Lexus does/'didn't furnish Chrome Wheels. They are all After Market. They are not covered by the Lexus Warrantee.

No they are the factory premium finish which is a little darker silver than the base model finish.

They are not powder coated they are permachrome plated. One of the best finishes on the market.

The 4Runner 18" are VERY popular and are widely used and sold for many Toyota made SUVs. They are good looking!

Lexus has offered factory chrome wheels both as factory options and as accessories. The chrome wheels on our GS430 were a factory option installed at the plant. There have been various chrome wheels over the years offered by Lexus. They all have the same factory warranty as any other part on the car.
