    Hey guys i ordered wheels from wheelers before christmas and they still don't have an ETA from their manufacturer so i'm getting impatient. I need to get some wheels quickly because i'm going from 18's to 16's and my tires on my 18s are getting bad.

    Need some help finding things like the ones from wheelers (black steelies) or something that looks like them.

    So far i've found this and was wondering if anyone had any other options or knows of any other that would fit with no problem. I'm looking for 16's.

    I have heard some issues of those wheels not clearing the brake calipers, but that is not a certainty.

    Procomp makes a set of steelies like the Wheeler's, in fact, they may even make the Wheeler's. Check 4wheelparts.com

    John's right, procomp makes the steelies for Wheelers, and they design them to clear the tacoma brake calipers. Most every other type of 16" steel wheels, even other steelies that procomp makes, will not clear the front calipers.

    Have you looked on Amazon? I would have never thought to look on there but they have wheels and tires and can get free shipping on certain stuff. I just bought 2 of my wheels (just put them on today) from Amazon. Found them cheaper than anyone else. I bought the 1st 2 off a guy on CL real cheap just in case you're wondering why I only needed 2.
