For Fellow 70-Series Lovers

So how does one go about buying some of those wheels?

You can always get current 70 series wheels from Cdan. Here's a pic. When I ordered these he had nine in the U.S. at the time. I picked up seven of them.

Just out of curiosity what is the BS on those?

"current" 70 series wheels have had five bolt holes for the last decade or so. That is a great option for older rigs though. I suspect pskhaat was looking for something more utilitarian for a 100 series.

 

[Pskhaat]

Yes, looking for a different OEM 5 lug wheel option (not that I own an LC100 but have to keep that in my mind...)

So gents, should I be really mean and go take some photos here?

More than half the vehicles in town are Toyota 4wd's most of which are Landcruisers, with some Prado's and Hilux's all of which are diesel.

It's quite strange to see you guys drooling over 7x Cruisers on here

Well Sean, It is hard knowing that you can't have the vehicle you want/need just because the majority of your countries population will only buy "fluffy" trucks with 20" spinners ands 16 mega size cupholders. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to travel and see the "real" landcruisers in action will always covet them. I'll gladly send you my crewcab F350 with 7.5 liter V8 for a nice tidy 70 troopy diesel...

Sorry for the misrepresentation. I thought he was looking for his new 45.

 

[BiG BoB]

Ok, I'll get the camera out and have a play

They turn Troopy's into all sorts here, even armoured cars for transporting money (into areas without bitumen)

Well....that I am too Such questions 15 or 16"?

 

[24HOURSOFNEVADA]

Well....that I am too Such questions 15 or 16"?

these are 16" and look great with 255-85r16/s

 

[Pskhaat]

Yes, agreed they are cool, (sorry for thread hijack) but I need to take into account the price of something like that vs. some OEM Tundra 16" steels I already have vs. some 60 series 15s and 33x9.50s

Leaning towards the LC60 wheels BUT want to have interchangeable tires between vehicles.

 

[BiG BoB]

Went for a 10min drive, these are some of the 7x Cruisers I saw

 

[BiG BoB]

One that may make you cry.... free to a good home however!

Also some GU Nissan Patrols
