What are the specs on the rims you have on your GX? They look like they are from a 4runner and if they are, are they the same specs as the Lexus OEM 17" rims and can be swapped out?

Thanks for the confirmation and they look great. Are they the same size as the GX stock rims and tires? I am getting tired of the GX stock rims and would love to have the 4runner rims on my GX or even better the new 18" 4 Runner Limited rims on the GX. Is it that easy to just switch them out? Thanks again.

lexguynj,
the 4runner wheels are pretty much the same. the only difference i see is that the sport wheels stick out slightly farther. or maybe it's just the effect that the spokes have flaring out. either way i love it! the GX tires swap over with no prblems. i even went as far as removing the center emblems to the lexus ones so i don't have to hear my dealership say "why you puttin teeyoota rims on a lexus?"
the new 18" limited wheels look AWESOME too! i'm going to wait and maybe swoop up a set of used ones.

lexguynj,
the 18" limited 4runner wheels looks like a better GX optional wheel. i wonder why the 4runner is getting all these cool updates? (LED tailights, 18" wheels, tube steps) while the GX remains basically the same. at least we can share parts with the 4runner
