    So a customer of mine came in the other day asking if i could find him a replacement rim for his truck since one is bent pretty bad. I have been doing a lot of research and cant really find a rim matching his. The rim is 15" and supposedly off a stock toyota pickup of a newer year than his. His truck is a 85 Pickup single cab long bed. If anyone has an idea of what vehicle these came off that would save me loads of time. Thanks

    I believe they are 1995 - 2001 rims
    I just looked on a customers truck in the lot and they look very similar and his truck is 97

    Those look deeper than the factory replacement ones on that site... I'm leaning towards Nissan wheels

    What's throwing me off is the nice gentle sweep in towards the hub flange, whereas the stock Toyota wheel has a more defined step. And the center has 3 noticeable spaces where it's married to the ring, where his looks totally smooth

    Yeah, it looks like that's the one after all...
    Now you just need to figure out how to weather it so it matches! :p

    I am guessing around 1990 Land Cruiser wheels

    They are 70 series Land Cruiser rims. They are Made in both steel and chrome. Good luck though on finding one.
