I think those are Antera 301 silver finished wheels. http://www.simpsonwheels.com/antera.htm

The wheels are 20" Antera 301 w/ Silver Finish. They are imported from Italy by CEC Wheels in California. I spent 2 months researching and pricing wheels. By chance I came across Simpson Wheels. Andy Simpson, owner, was outstanding to deal with and had the best price in the U.S. I bought the wheels from Andy with Toyo Proxes S/T tires (295-45-20) mounted/balanced and ready to be bolted on. I would highly recommend Simpson Wheels. Ask for Andy and tell him that TRDTOY Rich sent you. Good luck!

hey tell me if those wheels will fit they were border line fitting on my 2003 4runner. I was told not to take the risk on them cause of there width. So i got the 265/50/20 toyo proxes on mine. You can see my 4runner in my sig. I want to see pictures of yours. Chris

So what width and offset did you get? I'm thinking 18s down the road a bit.

The 295-45-20's fit perfectly on my 2000 4Runner. I'm not certain whether they fit a 2003. My rig can be seen at www.simpsonwheels.com. This is where I bought the wheels/tires. Andy Simpson, owner, has a 4Runner himself that has been modified similar to mine.

Like your ride!

Do you have some interior pics. I'd like to see how the leather looks.

your 4runner looks good, but you can definently tell your tires stick out of your wheel wells. I didnt want that, thats why i went with a stock width.
