Default Finally, New Wheels

Finally, got my wheels on and I'm extremely pleased. Must say they look better than I expected. Tires (Bridgestone H/L Alenzas) were expensive but provide an awesome, quiet ride.

Wish the photos were better - trying out the new Nikon CoolPix S60

Thanks for the compliments. This wheel decision has taken me longer than any other vehicle I have "re-shoed".

Congrats Bob!!!

I love the look and still really love that Bull Bar. I want one but then my GX won't fit in the garage.

Unfortunately all the wheels have done is fuel the modding fire. I'm waiting on the lights for the bull bar, and I will probably install a tow hitch-reciever soon.

I like the idea of upgrading the headlights, but plan to upgrade my wife's BMW lights first. So many mods, not enough time (or money)!!!

I agree with everyone...they look great. Do you know what year 4runner they come from? And if you dont mind me asking, how much were they? Also what area of the forum, t4r.org, were they listed?

Thanks

Can you tell me where you got the Bull bar in black? I'd like to do the same for my rig.

Those wheels look great as well...gonna either do that or get some black rims.

Got the wheels new from Sparks Toyota:

Do not bother, especially if you live in the eastern half of US, with the folks who sell them online. Sparks was cheaper than the 3rd party folks, and as you will see in my post about the wheels they were well packaged and straight from Toyota. Ask for Ken at Sparks.
