Are they the split 3spoke wheel, or the limited 5star wheel? I haven't seen any chromed wheels like the ones I've asked about. However, I have seen some of the newer OEM toyota wheels w/chrome on ebay, but none of them originated from the 4-runner. Is chrome plating something the previous owner could've had done after purchasing the vehicle?
I have the "split 3spoke wheel." I will attempt to attach a picture, albeit not the best image of the wheels, but all I have at the moment.
My sister and her husband were the previous owners and they purchased it as an "off lease" vehicle from their local Toyota dealer in Redlands, California.
I know they didn't have the wheels chrome plated, but who knows what the dealer may have done?
When I noticed I was not seeing this chrome plated wheel on the many like 4Runners I have seen, I have had to consider that the finish is not OEM and hence my inquiry to this forum.
I thank you for your response.

I'll make one more attempt at attaching an image...
Don't know what I am doing wrong, but no luck with the image.
I tried "Attach file:" making sure the file size wasn't too large...no luck.
Tried "Enhanced Mode/vB Code" with same result, i.e. no image when I "Preview Reply."
Guess I have my answer without an image...
Thanks to those of you who took the time to "Reply"

That or Photobucket.com.
Open a free acct w/ PB and then just upload your pics & copy and paste the IMG code of your picture to the forum.
As far as the chrome wheels go, I've seen a few '98 & '99 4Runners around town w/ the oem split 3 spoke w/ a chrome finish. Believe it's a dealer installed option.
"image shack"
"Photobucket.com"
Do the provisions for inserting images at this website simply not work?
I thought one of the moderators might pick up on this and give me some pointers, but not to date.
I am interested to find out that "Rock Slide" has seen wheels like mine in his locale...I am reasonably certain my description is accurate, but in the absence of a picture?

Not sure what you mean by "provisions", but for me, it's real easy to upload images to www.photobucket.com and then copy and paste the "IMG" link of the image I want to any forum thread.
As far as the wheels go, yes your description is accurate. They are OEM wheels with a chrome finish on them...again, it's either a dealer installed option or an aftermarket company doing them for any walk-in customer.
