Thanks DrVolg for making our GX's look so "girly". Great set-up.

Im with you on Discount Tire. They are the best place to buy wheels and tires.
I'm always treated right there.

I think they are chromed Prado wheels, I have not seen another pair like them in town or anywhere.
I have asked any member here if they have any.

They look good. I don't think I've seen those rims before.... must not be too many people checking that "option".

I love the look! Definitely adds some toughness to the look of the GX.

I don't know if they make factory black pearl emblems for the GX but those along with a blacked out grille would wrap up the look nicely.

Looks good!
What tires did you have before? Those tires sure LOOK like they'd make some noise. Just wondering, as I've owned a number of HD 4wd trucks and run a variety of tires, and the ones that looked like those were relatively noisy compared to a *near silent* tire like a Michelin Cross Terrain... If they are really that quiet, that's a good find!

I can't really hear them at all.... and living in Seattle, I would say that 95% of the time in the summer I drive with the AC off and windows down.

My former tires were (what I believe) are stock Michelin XXX whatever. (I can't remember the name... road handler? sleep comfort? shamwow?)

It does ride harsher now however... you feel the bumps a bit more. That's the only drawback. It feels more like a truck.

I HIGHLY recommend these tires, the close up pics should give anyone the info they need. Again, just simple Discount Tire setup.

If I don't like something, I get rid of it. I don't think I've ever written a review on a tire, but I did for these on the Lexus. If they fail me this winter, I'll for let everyone know for sure. Just looking at them, I can't imagine that they would.

Here's my "other ride"... so yeah, I'm picky when it comes to aftermarket parts.
