Eagle Alloy 114's.. opinions?



I've been searching around for some affordable wheels. Found the Eagle Alloy 114's black in 17 & 18's for under $100 per and figured I would get someone elses opinion. I've looked up multiple websites for this wheel and some have them for around $200 and others around $100. Bigwheels.net carry them in 18's for $80/wheel and I mean c'mon, that's a deal!

hubcap tire and wheel carry the 17's in black for just $78/wheel.

I'm just trying to get some opinions, see if anyone has had these before and if there is a reason why they are cheap. Maybe they are discontinued or something. Thanks

I don't mind the procomp 8069 or the look of the Eagle Alloy 137's and other brands of that style. In fact the eagle 137's are another wheel im considering. I want to go for a less common look though. A lot of people run those style wheels so I'm looking for something a little different. Thanks for the suggestion.

a less common look would be not black ha. but to each their own i guess. i didnt really like black wheels at first but they kinda grew on me. those are different though so get 'em and be unique

What is the backspace on those? I'd be careful with the -20 offset.

well, the 18x8.5 (6X5.5) have a positive 10 offset.. I dunno bout the 17's. It's like a $2/per wheel diff, I might as well go for the 18's. Whats the stock offset on the 4Runner. Is it + or -

The stock offset on my 4Runner (92) is 8. I'm unsure of what yours may be. I'd say go with the 18's. They'll look killer on your Runner

Keep in mind that 17" wheels will offer a lot more tire brands, types, and sizes. They'll generally cost less too, and provide a smoother ride versus 18".

Also, IMO a 17" will look much better.

Yes, I have debated this in my head for a while. I have a good friend that owns a tire shop close to where I live and he can get me good prices on most tires. I'll prob end up with 33x12.50R18 Mud Grapplers if he can get me a good price or find some used ones.

I'm not sure you could get too much for them. Maybe a couple hundred or so. Most people opt for aftermarket nowadays because they look better and are often cheaper than OEM
