Source for 16x6 wheels/rims?

Does anyone have 16x6 wheels? Steel, alloy, whatever... if you have them in a 6x5.5 bolt pattern, what are they and where did you get them?

I've heard that '87 and older Chevy/GMC stock steelies will work, but those are 16x6.5. I'd like something narrower.

I'd even go for 16x5.5 if I could find them.

I've read on some of the Aussie sites that they have 16x6 steelies stock over there... but I haven't been able to find a part number from Toyota (not that I'd want to order them from a dealer anyway... $$$).

Anybody know of any companies like American Racing or something that will make custom sizes (again, probably too much $, but worth a shot).

Thanks.

I have 215/85R16 tires on some Tacoma 16x7 alloys right now. The 7" rim is pretty wide for the tires... I'd prefer to pull the sidewalls in a little.

MAK he cant have 15's if he has the 16 inch rim model of the tacomas.. 15s wont fit on any tacoma 99 and up thats when their brake calipers got bigger and the steel rims wont fit around it.. just so you know now

My truck's a '92, so 15" rims will work... but I wanted a narrow tire (less than my current well-worn 31x10.5 tires) that was still approx. 31" tall, so I had to go to a 16" rim. If somebody would make a 31x9.5, x9, or x8.5R15, I would go that route, but I couldn't find anything in those sizes (bias-ply muds excluded).

I'm not a huge fan of the Tacoma rims I got, but they were the right price, and I didn't have a whole lot of options. Of course, if I was just going for looks, I never would have done this in the first place. It's okay from the side, but looks kinda funny from other angles. See attached photos.

Thanks for the link, 4crawler. Of course, even simple steel wheels sure aren't cheap when they're brand new. I guess I'll live with what I have for a bit and see how they work out.
