    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    This one was given to me by a buddy that changed wheel and tire size. It was off his 02. The one my truck came with was 15" and also 4.5bs. I like the steelies but holy shit are they ever heavy. My SCS weigh 18lbs... These feel closer to 25lbs. Can't imagine that much rolling weight doesn't make a difference. Are they high quality though... I just figured they were sorta average because they are designed for occasional use and not for long periods. Most steelies aren't perfectly round from what I've found either so if these are that's a plus.

    Pretty sure the 5.5 listed by PG is the bolt pattern and not the backspacing. As in wheel size 6x5.5 or 6x139.7 in metric.
    They most likely are oem backspacing.
    Those prices on the parts geek are insane BTW.

    Yep, 16" diameter x 7"width with 6x5.5 bolt pattern.
    They don't list the back space.
