Yes, those look just like the ones I'm selling.

2004 Toyota 4Runner Limited V8 wheels that will fit 2003 to 2009 4Runners as well as other vehicles such as Tacomas, Sequoia, FJ Cruiser, Lexus GX470. among others. 6 Bolt pattern. Tires on these were 265 65R 17 but tother sizes may fit as well. These wheels are in good, but not prisine...

Any suggestions on where to get good rebuilds? NAPA? RockAuto? Someplace else?

I searched this, but didn't find a definitive answer.

When did 4th Gen Limiteds switch to 18" wheels? I know 03-04 came with 17s. At some point the style changed and became 18s- Anyone know when? We're 18s always available on the earlier models? If you put 18son an 03-04,the speedo will be of slightly-correct?

From what I can tell in readin through the forum, Parts.com supplies genuine OEM Toyota parts. Is the same true for RockAuto? I'm specifically talking about brake components- pads, rotors, calipers... Also, anyone know if Parts sells rebuilt calipers like RockAuto does?

PS- It looks to me that using rebuilt calipers would cost about $150 an axle and rebuilding would be about $30 + labor. I'm not sure how hard this is to do or what some one else would charge. I do know the dealer wants $200+ per axle and their parts are way more than Parts.com or RockAuto...

I have the common problem of some of the brake pistons being siezed up. To make it easier, rather than rebuilding the calipers myself, I thought I would buy rebuilt ones from RockAuto or Parts.com (not sure Parts sells rebuilt ones though). My question is are the Raybestos calipers RockAuto...

PS My tires are Michelin Cross Terrain 17s. Did later Limiteds go to 18s?

Thx. I'll check it out.

If you've upgraded your wheels and tires and are looking to sell the OEMs, contact me. I'm not particular what year the wheels are from (03-09), as long as they are the original size for the 04 Limited V8, in excellent condition, and the tires have little wear on them. 651 226 0123...
