Default Wheel replacement update!

Picked up a 2006 a few weeks back and the finish on the original wheels really let the truck down. Ordered these “Toyota replicas” from OEwheels.com and was able to use the stock tires. Price was $600.00 shipped including tax and another $130.00 to have them installed. If you’re looking for an inexpensive wheel option these might be worth your time.

Those are nice. Trippy because I've only seen them on a 5th gen 4Runner. But I see why you used them, they transform the look, but very subtle. Nothing too extravagant. Just like the oem look of the vehicle itself.

PS: Good God!!! That exterior color, that's only the second time ever I have seen it. and let me tell you, I am in love/awe every time I see it.

Default Center caps

Any chance the original gx470 wheel caps fit the new wheels. Nice wheels on your vehicle by the way.

. You could say they “fit” but not very well and the color isn’t an exact match.

I bet these would work well if you had to have the Lexus logo on the wheel.

Not too shabby, picked up the emblems from eBay.
