    Partially because I like the look of more tire to wheel both aesthetically and for off road conditions. Second because tires are significantly cheaper on 16's vs 17's I found out after already buying the wheels :annoyed:

    Going for the REALLY retro look. 70's repro decals and a neat surprise. TRD Sports need 17" spare tires. Toyota designed the 17" spare to look like the steelies from 60s/70s Toyota Pickups and FJ40. Powder coated white, now I just need to buy some black acorn lugs.

    I'm trying to find a dark bronze, there isn't a lot to choose from. Most are really gold.

    I agree with you @jkish17. But there are far more choices for 17" wheels, especially for C load rated tires. Which is ultimately why I chose to go with 17s. It's a compromise, but one I can live with.

    2” lift. FJ Cruiser spare 17” wheels wrapped in BFG Mud Terrains.
    I was looking for a set of 16” steelies, but couldn’t pass up these 17’s when I found them. I was a little nervous about the look of 17’s on a small 1st Gen but I thought they turned out pretty decent.

    Ya I finally gave up on trying to find a set of C or D rated tires that I liked and finally got E rated geolandars. So stiff and heavy, biggest con for sure.

    I'm running on E rated Geolandars as well, GO15s. Only had them for a week now, but I like the on road manners. Heading to Colorado in a couple weeks to break them in. I'm sure they will do better than the stock GY Wranglers.

    2020 SR with FJ Cruiser caps on the oem 16 steelies. Thinking I'll paint the wheels Massey Ferguson gray...keep the caps black. Caps fit perfect! Also getting some Cooper Discoverer AT 265/75r16 tires installed in the next week or so.20210715_160137.jpg 20210715_160148.jpg

    Relentless Fab hybrid bumper, 2.5” Dobinsons IMS lift, RCI skids and sliders, block heater. Painted FJ Steelies. Was trying to keep it stock, now slowly building for the Wisconsin trails.
    That bronze is really going to pop against the black.

    Went with a similar color! I just did them quick and simple...cleaned...scuffed...cleaned...primer only where needed and painted with Rustoleum. No clear because that complicates future touch ups. Now I just need to get my FJ caps painted. 20210719_170424.jpg 20210719_172734.jpg 20210719_172749.jpg

    FYI- powdercoating took these from 27.1 lbs to 27.6 lbs on my bathroom scale. These are the 16” spares for a 1st gen Tacoma/Tundra still available from Toyota, now with the double oval holes.
