Chrome OEM Wheels (Split 3-Spoke)
I haven't seen many 4Runners with chrome factory wheels. Looks pretty good IMO (even though I am not a big fan of chrome wheels). They were a little dirty, I really wanted to polish them. Sorry for the blurry pics.

Are those actual Toyota factory rims? Or are they aftermarket replicas? Because they don't have the Toyota logo on the center caps.

Wow, that's a first! Looks good with the black and the chrome guard.

I've seen them before. They are probably OEM wheels. Some dealerships would offer to send the wheels off and have them chromed when you ordered the truck new. The original owner of my sister '97 Limited did it. Not a ton of dealers offered it, and it was crazy expensive, so not many people did it overall.

Saw the vehicle again. Just to confirm, it does have TOYOTA cast into the rim.

I'm guessing the original plastic center caps could not be chromed so they got replaced with plain chrome generic ones when they plated the rims.
