Black. Steel. Wheels.

I'm rocking fj steelies.

All things aside, I don't have to be afraid to do some real off roading when I have them on.

New rims = Will I scratch it?

IMO, with steelies... I can bang them up however and whichever way I'd like. Check out my instagram for pics:

Heck yeah!

I actually dig the black steelie look on the 4Runner, just hate the unsprung weight. That being said, there's a reason why people use steelies for their winter tires - they're cheap and functional.

What size are you thinking? Some 16" steelies wont work on the 4runner.

To me, black steelies are for people who get tired to washing mag chloride off their 'good' rims every time it snows.

They're also a cheap solution if you have more than two sets of tires.

Do you want.
Both look good and both have pros and cons

I wonder what the Australian wheels are made out of... some LC70's have steelie looking wheels (I wonder if they really are, probably given the utility of those vehicle like the 70).. the higher end trooper models get deep dish alloys, which a freaking sweet!

Yup.

Using a steel wheel has it's advantages:

Plus a big one for me; if you're in the middle of no where and you happen to NAIL a rock and bend the rim, you can possibly hammer it back to get you home.
:bounce:

I've had the pleasure of having a steel rim bend about half inch after hitting a frozen dirt edge. The 2 pound hammer wouldn't move the lip of the rim after 5 minutes of pounding. Perhaps a sledge would work on a rim with tire dismounted and laying flat on the ground, but a typical light hammer carried as a tool is just not enough.

I realize you posted this picture in 2016
I was curious as to where you got the center caps for the steel rims, as I can't find them anywhere
Or anyone who sees this and has them
Thank you

I believe they are from an FJ cruiser.

I believe they are from an FJ cruiser.

Mystery solved, I added a picture of the the FJ cruiser rim they have a different center hole designed to take a center cap Unlike the round center 4Runner spare steel wheel
I wondered how they got the caps to stay on
Thanks
