Looking for advice on wheels

I'm having a heck of a time locating either FJ80 wheels or LX450 wheels. I like the whole 16x8 dimension and the 4.5" of backspace (not too sucked in, not too pushed out). Any salvage yard I talk to only has beat up wheels. I've been leaning toward Toyota wheels for quality.

Are there any other reasonably priced wheels with these dimensions that y'all can recommend? I've been looking at ProComps, but all the ones I see have 4" of backspacing and stick out a bit far.

I'm trying to keep this affordable, too, and don't want to spend a ton. The archives have lots of wheel information, but not enough on the details to get at the tradeoffs of quality/appearance/dimensions/price.

Any help is appreciated!

I think the TRD Ivan Stewart wheels have 4.5" back spacing and they are 16x8.

I got mine off car-part.com, it was pretty easy to find ones in good shape there.

Best thing to do though if you want those wheels is to buy a set that are beat up for cheap, and most of them are beat up because of a crappy plastic coating that are on them. Then have them sand blasted and powder coated, then you will have basically brand new wheels.
