rims

hi,
i am looking to replace my rims... they are chipping off...I was looking at those TRD rims on the 3rd gen... I assume it will fit my 2009? where can I get them? I was looking genuine trd rims... don't want to go to a dealer since they will be expensive? thx

 

These are in Pa, don’t know how close you are?

I just bought some TRD take offs from a 3rd gen TRD OR. They fit my 2015 perfect-offset was correct. Assuming that not much is different from 2009 to 2015, I would say they should fit.

I found mine by looking at the tires-wheels section here in TW. I found a guy in Oregon who was willing to ship, and let them go for $100 a piece (and they look brand new-off a 2020...) You can also try Craigs List and Ebay. There are lots of deals out there you just have to decide what you want: wheels only? Wheels and tires? Wheels , tires, TPMS? Some are trying to get real money, but if you are patient you can get a deal. Mine was okay, there are even better to be found if you look...

Hope this helps.

 

Not sure if you would consider going this route but I had my old, scratched and peeling baja wheels powdercoated for $55 a wheel from a local company. They look amazing. Brand new!

 

if I go this route... then I need to bring it to a place to take the tires off power coat, dry... then back on again? I need new TPMS too, the light is flashing...So I think they are failing... it looks like I need to spend some $$

 

i dont need the tires... interesting...

 

I was looking at those black TRD pro rims... they are nice looking... do I need to go to a dealer to order them or ebay? I rather drive to pick up them in delaware since I dont live far and no sales tax! hehe

 

I don't know of a place that would do it all at once. What I did was put my truck on a jackstands for a few days, took the tires to the shop to have them unmounted from the rim, took the rims to the powdercoat shop. The powdercoat guy pulled the sensor/valve stems from the wheel before he started and gave them back to me in a box when my wheels were done. I let the wheels fully cool for a day and then took em back to the tire shop to have my new tires mounted and balanced, and reattach the sensors, then put em back on my truck! Tire shop only charged me for mounting and balancing. It was kind of a process but if you don't mind waiting a couple days and have another vehicle and jackstands, it's not difficult.

 

Either, as there are toyota dealers selling on Ebay as well. Going to be more expensive that way... paying retail on new wheels.

 

man, its like damn if you do and damn if you dont.... im so annoyed that the rims are chipping off... its chipping so much that it looks gross... I also had them re-seat one time because it wasn't seating correctly in the rims causing it to lose air.
I need the truck for work and other BS... so frustating!

 

so I dropped my truck off this morning, my guy got me a new tpms, rotate my tires, and re-balance a tire for $80 cash, no tax, he got it done 2 hrs. not bad... I guess I need to search a cheap way to get new rims.

 

yeah I need to shop around but the shipping ain't cheap on them since they are so heavy... thank you
