Talking Anthracite FJCruiser Rims on a 3rd gen.

I really like them. Thanks to Vermejo for putting them on a 3rd gen first. Seeing his pics made me think it would look good. They were hard to find new, but I think they look great and for 125 a piece I had to.

Hells YEAH! Was gonna do that same thing when I saw that too! It does look really sexy. I decided to go black to go with the theme of my Runner but I definately love the TRD wheels on 3rd gen it looks really unique.

Well done.

Nice . Be sure to post up some day pictures too.

Oh and you may want to consider painting those rear drums black too . Just a thought.

Wheels look great though.

16x7.5 The extra half inch of width is actually on the inside so if you run 285/75/16 you'll rub on the upper arm. With my pizza cutter tires I don't rub.

Trust me, I completely understand. I'd probably be doing the same thing too .

You're gonna cry though first time you nick one while wheelin'...I went wheelin' a week ago and now have a narly looking scratch on my passenger front TRD wheel...it sucks! To top it off, it happened on the last 5 mins of the trail too. I cried a good bit that day.

I guess I now have a reason to get a 5th TRD wheel...as the scratched up one will be the new spare!

Thanks guys! I'll take some day pictures today.

They are 5" offset I believe.
Basically the outside of the rim is the same as all of the first gen tacoma and 3rd gen 4runner rims, but they are a half inch wider and that half inch is ont he inside so wide tires will need wheel spacers.

I agree... but you lead. I am already responsible for 95% of the damage that has been inflicted on the SOAZTim 4Runner.

Time for someone else to take a turn.
