I think they make your frunner look alot more aggressive. The black makes it look super cool.

Runner is nice, but I have to agree, I like the stock rims better. Was the 2" BL difficult? I'm assuming if you did 2 BL's in one day, couldn't have been that bad.

I gotta agree, the stock wheels look MUCH BETTER than the bling rims.

Stick with the Stockers

Sell the others to somebody with an Escalade

Sell the wheels and get yourself some 35's! Looks killer though, I too prefer the stock rims.

I thought those wheels were PS'd onto the car at first, I'd look for something else.

x2 on the PS. Wow, I thought that 1st pic of those wheels was photo-shopped too. (Sorry to say, but I was hoping they were PS'd and not real.)

Wheels are not my cup of tea, but to each his own. Nice 4Runner.

You guys are great!! Pretty much everyone I know say they look like a blown up pop can...funny replies, thanks!

I just loved my Toyo's so much I got a set for my stockies to wheel in, most likely they'll come off for mileage and fuel reasons.

..and my Runner is what a real luxury suv should be, dookie on the escalade.

The BL itself was really easy. Pb blasted my bolts week prior, went around and loosened all body mounts, (the part that got me was on thee Runner you had to accces the bolts from under the carpet--I was already doing audio/video stuff so I just peeled it back). the bumper brackets were simple, but the front of the frame pushes against the lower valence and I don't like that look. Lowering the radiator was the hardest for me, I just didn't get how to set the brackets, I jimmy'd it and when I have more time I'm gonna drain it pull it out and do it right.

She rides tough even on the freeway. The Toyo pick-up was just as simple. Two in a day under 5hours total. We did use an impact wrench so that aid to our speed, plus I read the directions 10times.

Thanks again guys for the "kind" words, I'll post wheel well pics later.
