Default Recognize this wheel.....?

I traded my stock GX wheels for these...










I plan on putting some Nitto Terra Grapplers for Off Roading and trips to Lake Tahoe this winter.

The guy that I bought them from knew a place that would put the emblems on for $10 bucks each. Brand new emblems glued on and tabs put through and melted on...these are not coming off. Turned out very nice.

I hope to get some tires on these this week...then I will post some pics.

I was going to put Nitto Terra Grapplers, but now I may just step up to the BFG AT KO. Just not sure it's worth the extra $40 per tire on a wheel that I am only going to use a few times a year.

I forgot that you had the 18's. They only come in the "E" load rating...10 ply.

Nice job on the lexus emblem.

Seems like there's not that much stock wheel options.

I've seen GX wheels on a sequoia, but not the other way around yet.
