I like the American Racing ATX series, Artillery Teflon.
The other one I like is the Pro Comp Series 9089 in Knight Khrome.

V-Tec looks pretty good. Question: what does “Machined Face” mean? It’s hard to tell from the pictures. Is it the same finish as the stock alloy wheels?
I think the SR5 wheels are machined on the "blade" area. If mine were actually here, I'd double check for you.
Machined face usually means that you'll have a nice uniform face because the wheel was cast (or forged) and then they actually used a lathe or mill to cut the face to the desired shape. My GTI's wheels have a machined face and it is unpainted, so you see the raw cut aluminum face (it has a clearcoat on it, of course). If you look closely, you can see the machining cut lines.

So the aftermarket rims are either machined or painted of combination of both. Then what type of finish do the stock T4R LTD alloys have?

I just noticed some black powdercoated 17x 7.5 Toyota FJ wheels with TRD center caps that fit 4Runners up on Ebay.Look sweet!

2010 4Runner Fitment
A few questions for the experts:
1) Will these fit our 2010 4Runners, specifically SR5?
2) The fill valves and wheel weights are NOT included, so will I need to purchase these separately or can I just reuse the ones from my stock SR5 rims?
3) If I DO need to purchase fill valves/wheel weights, are they expensive? I don't want to have to spend another $100+ on these, so all the better if I can reuse the ones from my SR5 wheels

Your fill valves or vale stems will work with these wheels and yes they are expensive because it is the sensor for your TPMS. The wheel weights are what is used to balance your tires, so when you mount tires to the wheels and balance them the wheel weights are included in the cost to balance.

Those look awesome! Too bad the wife will veto that one in a NY minute.
I like these wheels but something about the black and the flat design of the wheel, I feel they need a little depth.

does anyone know what the back spacing on the factor wheels is? What would people recommend for back spacing on aftermarket wheels so i wouldnt have to use wheels spacers. Thinking going 18 inch with a more aggressive AT tire same size as stock.

factory backspacing is 4.5 inches. Don't go bigger then 4.75(like the fj wheels) or you will need spacers.
They are hub centric.

Are all the 5th gen's hub centric or just the limited? I'm trying to put together a tire and wheel combo to get when I purchase my SR5. Right now I'm looking at the ATX thugs with 275/70/17 firestone destination AT's.

All 5th Gen Runners are hub centric,4th Gens too.I could'nt find any aftermarket wheels that are hub centric .By the way the hub part that sticks out is 106.8mm.
I just bought a set of the AR ATX Chambers in the Black Teflon today. Love that black teflon.You can put aftermarket wheels that are lug centric as I am. You just have to make sure the hub on the aftermarket wheel is at least 106.8 mm wide and you have to get new conicle lug nuts.You can get hub centric spacers that shim it from 108mm to 106.8mm here... Wheel Hub Centric Rings - buy wheel hub rings online from 1010tires.com but I don't think its needed.
Like these would be the ones that fit our trucks in the ATX thugs 17x8.5 Teflon American Racing ATX Thug 6x5.5 -6 offset 108 hub AX399178583
Here are the ones I bought.17x9 Teflon American Racing ATX Chamber 6x5.5 -12 offset 108 hub AX39857983 I look for wheels that are easy to wash,especially when it's in black.Good prices at this place and they threw in a set of black lug nuts for free when I ordered over the phone.
A pic of the ATX Thugs,alot of spokes and nooks and crannies means harder to wash.
