Spare Rim

My 1985 Deluxe 4Runner came with the rims in this photo. I think they were Toyota Dealer aftermarket rims. At the time, I think we called them turbine rims and I did see quite a few 4Runners with these rims at the time. The SR5 4Runners came with a different rim and the factory Deluxe rims were just steel rims. They are still nice cast aluminum rims and I would like to find one for a spare. I will eventually post in the WTB section but thought I would check here first to see if anyone has one or more taking up space in their garage.

C=California Emissions a.k.a. 50-state emissions.

Also, no 22RT, only 22RET (i.e. turbo w/ fuel injection, no turbo w/ carb).

Thanks. I keep learning. I'm talking to a guy about buying his 85 4Runner with 22RE - I know - the Holy Grail. Problem is that it has a bad head gasket - which of course could mean it needs a head too, and then there is the possiblity the block is no good. Yada yada yada but with 114k miles, leather (they had leather in 85?), and the 5 speed it may make for a good project.

No leather in 84, 85 or 86. I'm not sure when it was first offered as an option. It could be seats from a later model or he might have had them recovered.
