Let's see 1st gen with Toyota Rims

I haven't been able to find 17" Rav4 take-offs to save my life. The ones I do see are rare, and extremely ugly.

 

I've been seeing these - I basically search within 2 hours of ATL on my stuff which hits Asheville, Knox, Chatt, Bham, etc.

Found these, the previous owner had them powder coated

 

It's funny . . . those are what I have as well.
I've always liked them from the standpoint of they don't stand out and I never seem to get get sick of them. They just kinda work.
My favorite 'looking' stock wheels were the Darrel Waltrip BBS wheels . . . but I think I'd get sick of them . . . they're a bit too flashy for my old ass.

 

Yes, they sure beat what was on my truck before.

 

These just popped up on ATL Craigslist (ITP) for $400. I still like my OEM 5-spoke splits better, but maybe someone else is hunting.

 

Thank you for the opportunity to spam this post. I also went with the 17" 4runner shoes. Completed with a set of P265/70r17 Cooper AT3 4s'. Turn out is great. Truck looks absolutely great, but with the factory rake they rub on a full tilt. I feel that my front springs might be sagging. So there's that. Also the tires make it ride less mushy and more bouncy. But nothing disagreeable. Hope this helps!

 

Based on this pic and your avatar, it would seem your truck is always going uphill or downhill when not manned. May be time for an alignment!

Seriously though, that is one of my favorite OEM wheel choices for 1st gens.

 

Those wheels look especially good on a white FGT!

 

Thank you! And in the posted photo she went down to a shooting range that was a little rocky, the profile pic was a pull off in Vail, AZ. Lol, we're mostly hardpack in southeast Tucson. Don't even get me started on I-10.

 

Toyota did a nice job with these wheels for sure. Only others I'd consider are the Tacoma TRD off-road 16"s.

 

Did you need spacers to get them to sit right, not rub, and look OK?

 

I didn't use spacers. They still rub only on a full tilt going up my driveway, but none otherwise. I was looking for offset specs on the factory gem 1 wheels vs. these, but to my dismay, I've found bubkis.
The 4runner 17's I think ha e an offset of -10.

But I'm also running A chonkier tire that's an inch taller on an otherwise stock suspension set up. 265/70r17 vs the 265/65r17's
I may switch back to highway treads after I wear these out since 90% of my driving is done on pavement.

 

My submission... 20x8.5 WT4 wheels from 06 XSP 4Runner

 

45k miles??!!

 

yes

 

Don’t ever sell it!

 

considering I got it for free, I don't plan on it.

 

Even better!

 

Some 18 method wheels

 

Do T100's count? I saw this today and I just had to take pictures. Awesome truck, and they came in stick!






The more I look at these pics the more I fuggin want it. God damn those wheels look so cool on a T100, or maybe any RCLB.

 

What kind of front bumper attachment is this? I want…

 

From @des2mtn. He said it best...

 

tell me more about that hood

 

It's a vis carbon fiber outlaw hood picked up 15 years ago ..,wrapped it ..needs to be repainted or wrapped again .

 

It’s all for looks haha! You hit a deer with that and there’s no point to it. All for looks no doubt! The guy in that add looks like he tackwelded the aftermarket one onto the factory one…I may be hated for this but it looks really good to me.

 

Anyone know of a decent place to get wheels compatible with an '05 DC that either ships or is in Minnesota/western Wisconsin? Having trouble finding some with similar offsets and really do not want to have to run spacers. Currently running the OEM 17s with 265/65/R17 Dunlops on them, would consider going down to 16s but would prefer keeping it at 17. It seems like to properly run the newer 4runner/Tacoma wheels a spacer is required and those are the rims I am seeing the most of. Thanks in advance!

 

The main reason dealers install wheel locks. It's not to protect the customer, It's to protect the dealer while the car is on the lot.

Obviously though, most wheel locks can be easily defeated. They're just a deterrent just like any other lock.

 

Love that hood by VIS, was there any modifications you had to do?

 

Thank you ..only modifications was just the windshield wiper hoeses had to be succured to the bottom of the hood other then that ..it bolted right up .fits great .
