Anyone want to trade their 20" limited wheels for my SR5 wheels? I am located in Mpls MN but would meet up if close.

I'm very tempted if you're nearby. I'm in Michigan.

Guess we could just meet at a shop and split the cost. Also, how many miles do you have on your tires? I pick my vehicle up on Sat, so they'll be fresh =)

I'd meet you in Iowa? Half way I guess?
Hey Scotty, if you were talking to me, Kansas City would be half way for me, but I have a cousin coming to visit from Twin Cities on April 1st and he could tie them to the roof, ha! I suspect you would be able to find a closer swap then me by the time my Limited arrives - right now I don't even know if it will be early or late, probably late, pushing towards March unless they find one for me sooner...

True. Haha. Well enjoy the Runner! I'm extremley excited to get mine on Saturday =)
i'm serious too. I have 2200 miles on mine and they have been very easy miles. i'm not sure the easiest way to do this. can always meet halfway (Birmingham?) and have a shop flip them?

Anyone close to the Mpls area that would want to trade their Limited wheels for my SR5 wheels?
That's a good question about the valve stems - when you swap tire/wheel sets do you have to go to a dealer and have them reprogram, or is this something that can be done by us mere mortals with the dash controls?
While we are on the subject, I assume this TPMS is just an warning light when a tire gets low, or does it actually show the individual tire pressures? My last several SUVs have all shown the actual pressure while sitting or on the road and I've gotten spoiled, and in fact when I air up a tire I simply use the dash to let me know how much pressure I have. I'm asking because I saw in the Highlander Hybrid where it not only shows the tire pressures but also the pressure in the spare tire - first time I've seen that. Anyone know if this is the case with the 4Runner (that the spare is included?). Thanks....

Unfortunately, it's just a warning light.

Just swap wheels is all,not valve stems(tpms sensors are in the valve stems). If you tell them to swap valve stems too,you are going to have to pay for tire mount and balance too for 8 tires=$$$$.Any reputable tire shop should have a Bartec or equivalent TPMS programmer and takes like 5 seconds to read and reprogram your swapped wheels.We swapped at Discount Tire, a chain tire store here, and it cost $20 total ($10 each) for swap and TPMS reprogram and took 15 minutes!Dealer charges $50 just to reprogram TPMS!!
The thing you have to make a decision about is the spare .Limited's have a alloy spare . SR5's have a generic steel spare, not alloy like the other 4.
I kept my Limited wheel as a spare when I swapped. They are the same size height wise so no biggy there unless your the type that rotates the spare in to the mix when rotating tires. I myself just rotate front to back.
