    Looks like that is only one wheel, and it's "aftermarket" and "made to factory specs". So it doesn't sound like it's a real OEM Toyota wheel, rather a copy of one. It is a lot cheaper though... Still under $500. Most of the OEM ones are around $700+ from what I saw at a glance.

    This is about what the OEM ones run.

    This is how it sounds to me as well, your not buying the OEM Toyota wheel but a replica (probably the reason it doesn't come with the TRD center caps).

    I just bought these a few days ago, they seemed like the best shipped price I could find:

    For $480 for a set that seems reasonable compared to $800 with shipping. And there def knock offs but how bad could they be

    Also, title of this thread says "aftermarket" its not a big deal to buy 4 so the fact that its 1 rim isn't the issue. Seems like a good rim for the price...

    The opinion (or the myth) of aftermarket wheel clones is that they're both significantly heavier than the wheels they replicate and are also of questionable build quality - i.e. they're not evenly balanced, have manufacturing defects or otherwise are poor quality.

    Buyer beware applies to any knock off product, but YMMV.
