just installed new wheels/tires on my 4runner - couple new pix







I'll probably take more pix when I take the pinstripe off

The wheels are 16x8 Rota Grids in a +5mm offset...I'm waiting for the flat black ones (http://www.wheeldude.com/catalog/pro...oducts_id=5690) to come out in a -5mm offset and i'll probably change to those at that point

Tires are Yokohama Geolandar AT-S in 285.75.16

Let me know what you think!

Zoeb

Looks really good! I do think the flat black ones will look better, though, especially with the -5 offset.

looks european now, especially with the push bar but the flat black will make it look "ricer" i think..... see a lot of dropped integras running similar flat black rims round here...and with the clear corners...

Looks sick, I would suggest removing the pinstripe and some really dark tint, 5%.

It looks clean, but i would ditch the pinstripe, running boards and black out that grille Of course if EVERYONE does that then its not very cool anymore, so maybe just keep it how you got it.

I don't think the pinstripe looks all that bad, but I'd definitely remove the running boards.

Wow, Can't believe you found and bought those wheels. When I was searching for them a while back I was told by several places that the Grid Offroads were off the market from having even more frequent cracking issues than Rotas are known for to begin with. Be careful!

Konig Countersteers are the safer alternative.

^^I think this man is as educated as they come when it comes to Rotas.

Can't wait to see the black one's!

lol, off the market from having frequent cracking issues?

These are JWL-T certified and not one person had an issue with cracking on a grid off road. How do I know this? Every single 5x114.3 Grid Off Road in +10mm offset and +20mm offset was sold by subydude.com, which I manage....none of them came back. Other vendors were just saying that because they couldn't get their hands on them, because I bought out all the inventory available in the US.

6x139.7 Grids were not released in the US for retailer use at all.

I am the first person to import a batch of these in the US.

Will you have a problem? Most likely not.

Will you be taken care of if you do? Absolutely.
