Landcruiser wheels

hey guys, i was on ebay and i came across some nice LC wheels. it hasnt even been bidded on and i was gonna go for them just for an extra set of wheels, but what threw me off was that the backspacing was 5.5"? that doesnt sound right. that sounds massive even for a LC. could it maybe be an error or is that right? if it is right, would they still fit on a 2nd gen 4runner or is that backspacing way outta my range?

make sure they are 6 lug (if you have 6 lugs?) I think the LC wheels with 4.5 backspacing was from 93-97?

its the right lug and fitment, thats not my concern. but 5.5" for backspacing sounds huge. is that an error?

here's the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=8020452365

theyre definitely not 5.5" BS. im sure they made a mistake..probably took the 5.5" bolt pattern spec..

someone should definitely jump on those though...imo, those are the sexiest wheels that could ever grace a 3rd gen Runner...

of course they make a 3rd gen. 4runner look gorgeous, but how about a 2nd gen.? we need lovin too ya know. any 2nd gens have them? im wondering if the LC wheels are too dressy for the older more rugged 4runners.

ive been following that bid guys and it looks promising, very cheap win too. i noticed one minor detail tho... the info says it only comes with two lug caps? wtf is that about? it makes me wonder if i want them if they dont have all the caps. or is it pretty easy to get ahold of caps? btw, i may not need them anyways, because i have manual hubs in the front... so i guess we'll see.

I'd jump on em man...caps are very easy to come by, I would suggest contacting Colorado Wheel Company through Ebay about it...they are awesome!

Anyone check out the seller's profile/feedback? Advice: Over communicate with the seller.

Based on my notes from recent sales by bamachem and FilthyRich, these are worth about $500.
