Check out RRW wheels, you can find sets of 4 on sale for ~$400-500.

SUV wheels are so much cheaper than car wheels. I thought my TRD Pro wheels for $700 were extremely affordable. That being said, I could have gotten Method Roosts through 4WP for $670 during their Cyber week specials and sometimes wish I went that route.

I just bought 4 steelies for 29$ each. super cheap, but the look nice. They are 5 lug, which I don't mind because I also bought spacers/adapters that will take space my 6 lug out to a 5. They are 15" wheels, which I don't know if you are into, but it allows for more sidewall. I haven't installed them yet because I have to wear out my current tires first, but I think they will look good. They are surprisingly well made, but as of now I think you can get them for 39$ each. I bought mine cyber-monday. With a lift, my spacers, and big tires, I think my runner will look great. Steelies are always an option.

I 100% agree. I thought my SCS wheels were super cheap, in fact I considered that they may be of low quality because of it (obviously this is not the case). I guess its all relative.

I actually really wanted the SCS f5 but they are never in stock in the jet black. And I was concerned about rubbing since I'm essentially only going to be lifting the front 1" and keeping the stock size G2's. I hear they don't rub so I may reconsider next year.

I don't understand the reasoning here. Are you afraid to damage the wheels because they look too nice? Why not just keep them and wheel with them until they get beat up and buy a new set years down the road?

I hope this is a joke.

If not - OP - don't do this. There's no way 15" wheels will fit unless you space them out to equivalent of around 2" backspacing. Even then - probably not. And if you do - the geometry in the front is all wrong. They'll rub horribly even with stock tires size due to the scrub radius. And using a 6 to 5 lug adapters are two piece assemblies (per hub) that cost more than a decent set of wheels. Basically this is all wrong on every level. If it's not a joke - I hope you can return them easily or find someone local who wants them. They're not going to work.

do 15" wheels even fit over the brakes?

and feel like 5-lug wheels + cost of adapters can't be less expensive than 6-lug wheels

Ain't that the truth my $4300 later on just wheels for my g35, my method NV's cost me $700.

Why put cheap steel wheels on a truck that cost $40k? I can see a beater crawler sure. These trucks are already EXTREMELY picky with tire balance now, I don't even want to imagine the steering wheel shake with a set of steelies that got bent and bashed back into place with a hammer. I doubt anyone who hillbilly straightens a wheel checks the run out or straightness.

Weight wise doubt there's a difference between steel and alloys my methods are pretty heavy. Weight to strength ratio there's a difference the lip is damn near 3/4" thick on my methods the only part I can even imagine bending is the inside barrel lip. I've aired my tires down to 10 psi in the rocks and have yet to tap my wheel. A couple gouges sure

^ the issue with alloys is not about bending, it's that instead of bending they will crack

my point is that i don't see the typical daily driver/offroader hitting something offroad hard enough to crack a factory allow. i've cracked alloy wheels on cars, but it was always nailing a pothole at speed with low profile tires and that is not applicable to the 4runner.

if you hit an alloy hard enough it will crack while a steel wheel will bend. for how most of us are probably using our 4runners the alloys are actually better because with medium impacts the steel wheel will bend but the alloy won't do anything.

there are probably a few people wheeling hard enough for it to be an issue, but i feel like anyone who has to ask about this isn't in that category.

I still kind of want steel wheels, but only because i think they look cool

Seriously. I think we should mentally prepare for another "my wheel studs sheered off on the freeway" thread.

He lists his age as 16 in his profile. 16 year olds often make dumb decisions lol

i like everyones suggestion about getting a set of OEM set of toyota wheels for cheap. That will be your cheapest option! If you think aftermarket wheels are cheap then you're wrong. Now you have to get lugcentric lugnuts which will cost you quite a bit.

That's the wheel I have. They rubbed on the front bumper with stock sized KO2 back when I was lifted 1.5".
