Default Stock to FJ wheel swap

I've been looking at numerous threads on here and other forums regarding swapping my stock wheels for FJ Cruiser wheels. A couple of questions came up. First, is the color. I like the stock color of my current wheels but don't know if the FJ wheels come in the same shade or something close. Second is the center cap. I can find anything showing that the Lexus cap will fit or if I have to use the Toyota cap. Any ideas?

I'm running stock size tires (Michelin LTX M/S2) that have less than 10K miles on them so I wont be going up in size. Nothing on the aftermarket really catches my eye. Most are going with an all black look that I'm not digging.

Do they have more offset or width.

IIRC, they're 1/2" wider and lower offset (ET 15) so they look more flush than stock GX wheels.

Yes, lower offset moves more outboard.

Those are some clean looking rides! I had not even thought of the six spoke wheels. I was focusing on the 8 hole ones. I will have to do some more contemplating. I'm glad to see that the stock center caps work on those.

they are the same width, just the offset is different 15mm vs stock gx 25mm
the tundra wheels I run are also 15mm offset, both of these are the best wheels to run cause it looks more flush and then you can fit a 20mm wider tire without rubbing anything. if you are on stock tires then it doesn't really matter but still will look more flush.
