How much those wheels cost? They look pretty nice on the truck.

do not forget the cost of the tires, too. Only one tire for this size wheel and they are not cheap but I have found them to be darn good tires.

I know, I guess thats the price I have to pay if I want to have a nice OEM wheels. It runs really smooth with this tires.

You know, with 21" wheels and low profile tires, you cannot go to places like this one (last weekend somewhere near Nevada/California borders). You are limited to some city driving and highways. Is it really worth it?

How often would one take his truck to the no man's land? Weekend warrior, just swap them out.

Yes, you can do that. But did you ever do it? The wheels are quite heavy :-) I don't believe that you would like to do it every Friday. And you simply cannot exit the highway and just explore if you see an interesting dirty road (that's what I do quite often).
These 21" wheels have no advantage also on the highway, just more rough ride (this is not Porsche 911, where you can use them for an improved handling).

No, I am not a weekend warrior nor drive any where that is no man's land with any cars. I would prefer the look of the trucks or cars over comfort.

Well worth it for the looks and handling. Like the others said, you can always switch them out. We do not all feel the "call of the wild".

I know, we should be grateful for people like you... There are just a few LX owners using them for off-roading (half of them probably registered on this forum). Without people using these heavy body on frame/solid rear axle rigs just on the highway there would be no LX or Land Cruisers sold on the US market :-)

O.K., for me it's probably better to discuss tires &wheels on ih8mud.com :-)
