white/silver 03 w/3rd gen 16's

Saw a white 2003 SR5 with the lower cladding painted metallic silvery-gold (it's a color I've seen on 3rd gens...can't describe the color exactly)
It also had chromed 3rd gen 5 spokes that look like BruceTS's modded set. Anyway, it looked really classy and nice! Like it came from the factory that way.

Also, a little foot note-- the reason I cannot fit some 16" wheels is because the SE 4th gen had bigger brakes than the SR5 or Limited. That's why SE's are standard 17". (learned that over on t4r)

The 17" wheels are standard on the Limited... The SE's are just different (FWIW: I like the SE's wheels better).

I don't know if the SE breaks are bigger or not, but if they were, wouldn't Toyota advertise this ?

The 4th gen SR5 (also) has too large front brakes for older 4runner 16s. It'll work with spacers because it's a backspacing issue. If the Sport's brakes are larger it's probably also a rim diameter issue because it barely clears on the SR5.
