Are these factory?

I picked up set of these wheels today for 50 bucks. I had all intentions of plasti dipping them but I think they maybe factory. Could anyone tell me if these wheels are factory, they look a lot like the ones on the truck in this post. If they are factory can these center caps be purchased?

Thanks

Johnny

Yes, they are factory. They were used on 1981-1985 pickup, 1984-1985 4Runner and FJ60-62 Landcruisers. The center car can be found on ebay from time to time.

Thanks for your reply, sweet that's good to hear. Those center caps are vintage Toyota sweetness! But those caps look nothing like the ones that are on the truck in the picture. Will pretty much any center caps work with these wheels?

Thanks

Nope, those are the caps. They are missing the red paint in center. The caps on the tan truck look much larger because of the reflection from the wheel itself.

The emblem on the 83 and older is different then the 84/85. Wheels are the same but center caps are different. I really like those rims. The back spacing is different from an IFS truck and a solid axle. My 85 had Toyota on the center cap. The first gens had a "T" like the picture.

Though this is an older thread, I will add that these wheels were also available on the FJ60's. And $50 for a set of 4 is an outstanding price! Clean chrome will sell for $50 a piece at some places.
