yeah don't second guess a thing, I just got caught with my pants down , not the first time and I'm sure not the last, LOL . But you can sell your LTD wheel and get into some Lexus of LC wheels w/o any problems for about $150. Our style LTD wheels are hot stuff for people sticking with 265s, like I said before mine were gone in 30 mins. Just got for it.

Exactly, I'm really sad about having to part with my Limited wheels but I think its the right thing to do. It's gonna so slick with the Lexus wheels and 285's.

If you want, wait until I get mine all set and you can watch my wheels and see how fast they go and for how much so you can get an idea of what yours will do.

Mine with rock rash and tree root scratches went for a good price, so you can bank on a clean set do'n very well.

Mine are in just about perfect shape...there are ZERO scratches on them with no road rash or curb marks.

I'm hoping I get like 400 or so.

I might consider keeping them along with the 265 street tires that I've got on there now and use those for road trips and stuff but we'll see...wheels should have shipped out today. I'm hoping ground shipping from Colorado will bring em here by Tuesday or Wednesday next week...we'll see!

I've got the FZJ-80 rims on my 4Runner...picked them up from quality autoparts.com.
Best wheel option for upgrading from my factory split tri spoke LTD wheels. $375 shipped to blaine WA (i live in vancouver BC, so i cross into washington state and pick them up from a shipping/receiving center.

I got two sets, both came with centercaps. The first set that came looked a lil tired...some scratches, clear coat blemishes etc. I sold them to my friend that was planning on refinishing them. The 2nd set i received were in excellent shape, all i needed to do was spray the centercaps, and give em a good wash.

Heres how they look on my ride...


mounted on 285/75 MT/r's which dont rub A arms on a 3" Fabtech coilover lift. Yes i know i need to get rid of the running boards...but until i get some stubbs or custom sliders built, the kids will just have to hop on the factory boards to get in...

I like to think so.

Fink I love your Runner man, post up some pics when you get the Lexus wheels, I really want to see them on an all black SE.

Thanks for the comps guys!

Called them this morning and they should be in on Thursday at the latest.

Other than the wheels I've got a CV problem (did a fix today that I'm hoping works) and a vibration at high speeds, possibly CV related. I'm gonna wait until after I get my new wheels and tires mounted to see if perhaps they were the problem.

Thanks again guys!

I'll get pics up just as soon as I can get them mounted!!
