    I just ordered that one from Amazon last night and it came free prime overnight delivery. How crazy is that? The thing looks great... very heavy duty and almost too nice paint. It'll make it a lot easier to pull stuck riding mowers out at the farm.

    I've been torn for a while about what to do when these tires (275/65/18) need replacing. I really like the clean understated look of OEM alloys. The only reason I can see to go to a aftermarket wheel is for the offset options, like if i ever want to run 285s in the future.

    A brand like SCS is tempting. They're designed almost exclusively for 6 lug toyota platforms so you know the fitment and quality is top notch.. But. They. Are. Everywhere.. kinda played out in my opinion

    I like my limited 4runner 18s in satin. They're kind of a street wheel, they look best with a (not too aggressive) A/T. In the future I'll have a couple sets ready to go. These 18s with streetable tires and some 16-17s with MTs that i can air down

    Those look good, too. What is the width and offset? Which year 4Runner (so I can look them up)? The Michelins in that size... and in 265/60-18 which would be closer to OEM diameter... specify 7.5-9.0" rims.

    Not sure about width and offset, I didn't pay much attention because I knew they would fit when I got them. Not sure about year either. Just Google pictures of limited 4runners and you'll figure it out

    Nice to see black lugs with these wheels, bit of a rarity I must say.

    There’s nothing to decide.

    does it have bead grip technology?
    Only wheels such as Method 701 do.

    done
