    Steelies SUCK big time. I've got them on my 1st gen and they are slightly bent, meaning they can't be balanced correctly. I stupidly bought 4 more only to have same problem. So now I really need to buy 4 alloy wheels because the truck bounces like a dump truck going down the road. Anyone want to trade 4 alloys for 6 steelies and some cash?

    What a dumb post.

    Any bent rim sucks, the suck more when 4 are bent.

    Super great insight.

    I love the sparies look. Of course it is probably because I am a defender guy and a lot of people run NATO steelies. If I can find three more with 245 75 R16 firestone destinations I will probably run them although I like the stock SR steelies too.

    Alloy wheels don't do it for me.

    I did the 16" steelies on my FJ. Looked great. A bit of a MPG hit as the steel is quite a bit heavier over alloy. Best place to find is a used Toyota parts seller. Early Tundra's (gen 1) all used the same round hole 16" for the spare. Google search 16" tundra steel wheel. See them for about $60 each. You just need to see what the condition is as one of mine needed some clean up.

    That is a great look. Land Rover ex? Why give them up? I have an NAS 90 and NAS 110. Of course I am an ex-lotus person (that was a mistake to sell).

    Funny enough I sold the NATO steelies off one of the previous NAS D90s as I like the alloys. But on a rest of world defender or a taco I think they look great. I keep looking on craigslist for a set or singles. Some narrow 235 85 r16s would look great. If I could find steelies for the taco without holes that would be even better.

    PS if you sell your pro wheels put me in line.

    Had a 110 outside of USA

    Looking for a yellow D90NAS for the USA these days

    Pro wheels were sold to local taco guy the minute I brought it home from the dealership for $850. Highest price for the ugliest wheels Toyota ever made

    Just put on the bed rack, it's an all pro. The construction is spot on but my tent is almost too big for it. The steelies look great in person.IMG_1631.jpgIMG_1738.jpg

    Looks awesome!
    Are you using oem Toyota TPMS sensors in those wheels. I thought I read those wheels don't work with tpms? What size wheel?

    Thanks
