    I just inherited a 99 Tacoma that is missing a rim. Impossible to find that one off-market rim, so I've been looking for new wheels.

    It has 14" 5 lug wheels on it now.

    I found some 2013 Tacoma 15" OEM wheels, which are 5 lug. Will those work?

    What other 5 lug (cheap) wheels has everyone found will work on the 99 Tacoma?

    Thanks for any advice!

    Should be able to find another rim at the junk yard or Craigslist

    I would venture to guess that the 15" wheel and tire combo from the newer truck should fit

    I recently saw in a parking lot a 96' 2WD, not lifted, not a Pre-Runner and it had 16" rims from a 2005 or so Toyota Highlander and it had 215 -70x16 BFG AllTerrain tires on it. I did not see the driver so I couldn't find out if there were any rubbing issues but I though it looked pretty nice.

    I couldn't find any very decent Highlander wheels and powder coating costs were to much so next week AmericasTire is supposed to get in a set of 15 x 7 MB Chaos5 wheels, which unfortunatley has a "0" offset and we will see if they will work with a 225-70x15 Yokohama AllTerrain tire

    I am upgrading from the 14' alloy because 14" all terrain tires are discontinued

    Your lug pattern is 5x4.5" so there are lots of options for wheels. Jeeps are the same, as well as I believe Ford 5 lug trucks (explorer, ranger, maybe F150?)
