I can't verify this given the wheels are on the truck, but the receipt says 42611-60880-TO (take off).

To my eye, they match my roof rack, and the OE 17"ers perfectly on my '07 Sport.

They had another set available at the time that looked like a traditional light silver alloy wheel finish.

Would the light ones be the "high gloss" that someone mentioned or is high gloss chrome?

I have had all 4 "types" of these wheels:

silver - regular silver color
high gloss silver - color is darker than silver, lighter than hyper-silver (sport)
hyper-silver (same as on GX470 sport), darker than high gloss silver
chrome - either of the above can be chromed

Hope this helps!

That sound familiar. I think the dealer called them hyper-silver.

styles_s, good looking wheels. Look like they belong. I have the 2008 Titanium Silver exterior, with hypersilver stock wheels. Hypersilver, is silver sprayed over a black primer.

Stiles - looks great, how do you like the Michelin ATs? I had Michelin MS2s (like them) and wanted to switch to some all terrain tires, but ended up trying out Cooper to see if they were a good value or not (feedback from reviews was great tire/price). They're new so jury is still out but not noisy at all and did great off road where traction was needed. BTW, really like the car parked in front of the GX. Had a factory tour many years ago

Thanks. Didn't know the other car snuck into the shot

at/2
good: dry and wet traction, quiet, smooth, aggressive looking
bad: heavy, hammered my mileage (-~2mpg on fwy)

so, I'm torn. I think it's cheaper to wear them out rather than switching tires now. That said, I'll prob go m/s2 next time
