Wheel Question

Hey all, I have been cruising these forums for quite some time with no posts, so I thought I might actually throw a question out there... has anyone put the Volk reps(Rota Grids) on a 89'ish 4Runner? For reference these are the wheels in question:

I am seriously thinking about them, since they are vastly lighter than the stock steelies that I have on there now... better low end acceleration, mpg etc... plus I like how they look. Any thoughts?... please no Rotas are garbage posts.

Here is the truck in question... on the day I got it;

Dude, I'm gonna say, make that pic smaller, not everyone has the best internet, or at least put a 56K warning in the title, jeez. And personally I'd say those wouldn't look that great. And I doubt the little weight savings will give any noticeable power or mpg. I mean, I went to 35's+10x15 steelies. which are over double the weight of stockers+tires and I only lost 4mpg...not regeared.

4mpg when you only get MAYBE 20 is almost 25% of your total mpg... I really just wanted to know if anyone has put them on this bodystyle. There are plenty of pics of 3rd gens and Tacomas with them on, but I have yet to see an older body style. Keep in mind that this is NOT intended to be a rock crawler, I really just want a light trail rig that I can take camping and have a little fun with.
