No luck with input on the Tacoma/Truck/4Runner forum so I deleted my thread there and I'm posting this here with the hope some FJ Cruiser guys will know something.
Does anyone know the specifications of the FJ Cruiser TRD wheels. I know they are 16x 7.5", but what about the backspacing & off-set? Are they the same as my 06 4Runner, and I assume '05-up Tacomas? I'm guessing since the FJ and 4Runner platforms are so similar that they will fit well. But fitting and fitting the same are two different things. I don't like my tires/wheels to stick out, one of the negatives of aftermarket wheels in my opinion. I already have a set of 16x8" Ultra wheels with different offset/backspacing that stock, making them stick out more, and would like to relegate these to my Chaser and as spares, as they fit both the trailer and the 4Runner.
I was planning on buying 3 takeoffs to match my stock 16x7" wheels, using my factory spare to make a second set of 4 (from these guys: http://www.capitalwheels.com). But at $175.00 each, it will cost me $525 for only three, not including the $25.00 center cap. From http://toyotapartspeople.com/ I can buy 4 new TRD 16x7.5" wheels for 126.50 each, making it less for a set of 4 ($506.00) than three stockers. Is there a better/cheaper place to buy Toyota parts? This seems like a great price on new factory aluminum wheels!
Do these TRD wheels have plastic center caps like my 4Runner wheels? Kind of looks like they don't (good) but it's hard to tell from the few pictures I've seen. Do they come in both silver & black? I just 'discovered' these wheels in a short thread here on The Portal which I can't seem to find again, and started thinking about them for the Mall Crawler.
Though I like the look and feel of a 'sleeper' it would be nice to have my wheels look different for each set of tires. One minor negative is that they are 7.5-inches wide instead of 7-inches like my stock wheels. I don't plan on ever mounting wider than 265-mm wide tires and the narrower wheels are better for holding the bead when aired-down. But this is a small difference of half and inch and I could always use the pretty TRD wheels for my A/Ts and the stock sevens for the M/Ts and off-highway.
Input and opinions please.
