Pretty aggressive looking! Rides better than CrossTour?

yeah, that's what I liked about them. I wanted to put Michellins CrossTerrs on there but it was too pricey. These ride really nice and not noisey so a great price for $700 (4 tires, 3 yr alignment, balancing, mounting & tax).

That's half of the reason why i bought the new wheels now instead of trying to get another a couple of thousand miles off the orirginal set. The other 1/2 of the reason is NTB's offer ends the end of this month.

Looks great, My only recommendation is to change the center emblems to Lexus. I did it on my Sequoia wheels with no problem. bought used Lexus centercaps carefully removed the chrome emblem and applied it to the centercaps on my Toyota wheels(after removing the Totota insignia of course). I got the emblems off of Ebaymotors.com

Another option is to de-badge the rest of the truck.

I actually enjoy having the T4R wheels on mine, with the toyota badge. Surprising how many people catch the logos and get confused. I wish I had full toyota badging on mine, but I don't have the energy for a full debadge/rebadge. I did remove the Lexus and v8 from the rear, though.

Go on ebay and start shopping for Prado badges.

I thought about changing the logos but at the moment I don't care much. My rear has been cleaned for a while .

Are the T4R wheels a direct bolt on? Does the GX require any mod to accept/fit them?

I like the Toyota badges! De-badged the rear today )Lexus, GX 470, V8) All that is left are the center caps on the wheels and the Lexus L on the rear and grill up front.
