Here's a front shot for you.
And a few others...
I dont know why, but, I like the red/blue stripes. It kinda looks different I guess.
I would take off the bug deflector but I drive through a lot of farm land on the weekends...LOTS of bugs hehe...(pictured below).
I have been pricing these rims forever. Most places sell them for around $65 each. If you can put 15" rims on your 4runner, you can get them super cheap. The 16" ones are harder to find and are more money.
These are the "Pacer" ones. I think the backspacing is 3.75.



Yummy bugs....

Thank you so much, I really appreciate the compliment. It means so much when you have a hobby like this and get thumbs up from others who have the same passion!

like someone else said, you oughta paint the bumpers. i've got the exact same wheels and i painted my bumpers last summer and it really wasn't difficult at all and looks so much better. just got primer, flat black paint, and top coat. took the bumpers off, cleaned and sanded them and then applied coats of everything. they've got dings in them already, but actually holding up nicely...here's some before and after shots (not a very good before shot of the bumpers, but only one on my computer right now).

love the stance and look of the 33's. just take off the red/blue pin stripes and paint all your trim black. you'll be good to go.
I think that the rims look good on there. Save up for a TJM or ARB. Either one would look good on there with those rims.
