Are these stock Toyota wheels?

Picking up an 83(I think) Toyota next week and got checking it out, it had the Toyota centers in the wheels on the back, was jus curious if these were stock Toyota wheels back then or not. I’ve never seen a set but then again I hardly ever see pre 84 trucks here.

Back in the day my first and only new vehicle was a Beige 1982 Deluxe long bed 4X4.
  • The 82 and 83 had the square headlamps and a cast iron top loader 5 speed transmission.
  • It had a design flaw in that the input shaft bearing would fail at about 50K repeatedly I might add!
  • The Deluxe and SR-5's got the wing windows and rear split window.
  • SR-5 has a tachometer, Deluxe only the 85 MPH speedo.
As for the wheels they seem to be the stamped steelies that the SR5 trim level trucks came with which were chrome plated if I remember correctly.
Those look like they are chromed but filthy as one might expect.
Dang it I even had those very same aftermarket side mirrors!
I should have not given away that truck to my sister in hindsight.

It does have a tach
wing window door isn’t original.
funny you say that because the trans did go out in it on them at some point.

it’s been a farm truck so it’s lived a rough life.

Not 100% sure but I believe it’s a long bed frame. It would make someone a helluva wheeler platform.

unless there "perfect" I don't want them ... there very expensive to rechrome . and when I say perfect , I mean just like brand NEW ! .. if those are like that , including the back side , I would be interested .. as I have 2 sets of rusted ones already .
they came in white as well , but for someone to dechrome them the paint them .. it even expensive .

I’ll check them out when the truck is in my possession. Depending on how they are I may shoot you some pics.
