Here's a sample of what all my wheels look like:


What can I do to make these look better?

Can I take the plating off myself? If so, how?

I could just replace them with these:

HaveBlue,

Do you want the Stock 16" rims from my 02??????

I got new rims and my stock rims are in the boxes from the new ones and bouncing around the back of my Runner. I can't find anyone down here that wants them..


You pay shipping. That's it....

PM me if you want me to send them up to Colorado.

I still need a set for my pickup. Are they steal or alloys? 15s or 16s?

Done!!!!! LOL

I'll secure the lugnuts which are rolling around in the boxes while I drive

I asked 3 people down here with the 15" wheels if they would like my 16" wheels for an upgrade and I got these blank clueless stares.

One even said why... Why would you want to mess with a totally good Toyota..... :pat:

Mine look a little different but they are in very good shape.

I get the same look when I tell people that my truck is supercharged. Several people have asked, "Why would you supercharge a 4Runner?" :pat:

If they're free, I'll take 'em. Like I said, I still need a set for the '83. If not, I'll just slap the old 4Runner wheels on.

Runnerboy, you have a PM. I'm guessing the 99-00 wheels are gone?
