Default Take off wheels

I am new here and a new owner as well. I love the truck Im just not a fan of the wheels. I prefer to make it look as stock as possible so I would like some toyota or Lexus wheels that look better. I like the TRD Rock Warrior wheels but they are 5 lug. What factory wheels will fit and look better? Im not a fan of chrome, I would like some silver or black wheels.

If I stayed stock I would probably go with 18" 4Runner wheels. There's quite a few members here that are running those wheels.

See post #14:

Buddy recently got a set of 460 wheels:

Yeah I think they look great on our GX.

Here's what the GX460 wheels look like on our 470:

Before buying do some digging around to make sure they don't have any flaking issues.

I found a company all factory wheels on ebay that sells them brand new for 750.00 Not too bad of a price. Do you know if they are compatible with the TPMS system? I like his setup with the Nittos. For tires and wheels it would be around 1500.

Yes our sensors are compatible. I've seen those wheels on eBay before. Make sure if you buy them that they come with center caps. When I looked at them some did and some didnt.

I agree, the 4Runners rims look really good on a GX.

Found these wheels on Craigslist. They are off a 4 runner. Does anybody know if they will fit, or is the rollout bigger then stock and my speedo will need to be re calibrated. http://denver.craigslist.org/pts/4303039377.html

It's 6 bolts and if it fits a 4Runner it'll fit our GX just fine. They don't calibrate the speedo when selecting 20" wheel options for 4Runner, FJ, Tundra etc because even with 20" wheels and tires they're still the same diameter as a 17" / 18" set up.

On the stock suspension the largest size tire you'll be able to fit is 31.5"-32" diameter.
