2009 runner with 2010 TE Rims, 1" Lift in front. I love them.
The stance is just slightly wider than OEM, looks better.

<p>Yeah, just find a muffler shop with a good reputation. The Silverline tip is double walled, stainless steel. I really like it. it was just one that they had in stock, so sorry, I don't have a part # for it. Here's a close up pic of it.
This kind of looks like it, don't know if it is the exact one though:

The muffler shop I got mine from, it was $80 installed and out the door. I thought it was a great deal.

Thanks very much! It's an SR5, but I changed out the roof rack and the running boards for the OEM Sport Edition ones, so the look is much better. The tinted windows improve the look, but in fact, where in live, in the SouthWest desert, it's really wise to have tint, as it keeps a tremendous amount of heat and UV out of the interior.

I kind of like those too, but didn't even know they existed until a month or so after I had bought my TE rims. Do you mind me asking where you located them?

I just stated in the fjcruiserforums.com's buy/sell section that I was looking for some of these wheels, and found somebody who was willing to sell. The shipping from AZ to TX was like $30 ea. wheel.

Looks good! Did the tpms work after you put a different set of wheels on your t4r?

yes sir, they just moved them over. discount tire co charged me like $4 ea. to rebuild the TPMS, whatever that means.

I picked up my set this weekend too. I haven't installed them, since I'm still trying to decide if I want to get new tires for them now, or just run the Bridgestones that came on them for a while. I did snap a pic with one setting beside my 4Runner, just to make sure i like the look. I think i like it
p.s. Anyone interested in a set of 17" Sport Wheels with Dunflops on them? I'm in Northern Virginia

I really like the way they look cangler. what tires are you running?
Also I've got a question for whoever knows. Sorry for my ignorance, but I'm not entirely sure how the TPMS works. If I sell my old wheels (with TPMS) and put these wheels on (Without TPMS), am I going to get warning lights or anything? Is there something I need to do to disable the system, so the 4Runner isn't looking for the TPMS?
Or should I do like cangler did and have them transferred over to my new wheels?

Yes, you will get warning lights if you ditch your TPMS. I personally don't know how or if it is possible to disable the system. I don't know why you wouldn't just transfer the TPMS over to your new wheels, that is what I did when I put TE rims and new tires on my runner.

Mainly because I'm planning on selling my old SE wheels AND tires, then getting new tires for my new wheels.... so that would involve taking them to have the TPMS removed, and get the old tires remounted to the old wheels before I sell them.
That being said, though....I don't want to have that light on all the time because I ditched them...

Lookin good. I'm getting the OEM Bridgestones taken off mine today, so I can get something a little beefier on them. Can't wait to get them on the 4Runner.

finally
well that took a while. got my 2011 FJ Cruiser wheels and BFG All Terrains a couple months ago, and they've been sitting in my basement every since. I've been to busy to get them put on. I also have a Daystar 2.5/1.5 kit waiting to be put on, but i got tired of waiting, so i finally just got the wheels and tires put on today. hopefully the lift will come in the next couple weeks. so far, i'm liking the new FJ cruiser wheels so far.
anyway, it was getting dark by the time i got home, but here's a crappy phone pic of what it looks like so far. Once i get the lift on, i'll actually be able to post pics in the Lift and Tire Central thread.
