Thanks! I appreciate that! Yes offset is exactly the same. Last night I rotated all center caps to align with the valve stems. Pics don't do these rims justice. I personally like the split 5 spoke with the additional "curves" of each spoke. I prefer this to all the aftermarket stuff I looked at, and this was plug and play where aftermarket always needs "something" i.e. different lugs, adapter plates, etc.
One dealer (where I bought my tires), Anthony, told me that, in his opinion, none of the aftermarket rims (we were looking at procomp and AR) had the "strength" of the oem's. It came up because I was asking about durability and warranty. Don't know if it is true, just what he thought, having been in the business a long time.
I don't mind the "L" in the center caps, but since it's not consistent with the front and back toyota logo I wonder if I could swap those out for the lexus emblem. Rear s/b no prob, but I'm not sure about the front? Then just debadge the rear toyota word and 4runner word and I think it might work.
I also finally tinted the front windows last week. Much nicer, too bad I couldn't do it sooner.
I'll try not to scratch the heck out of these. I probably won't as the new duratracs have great rim protection and I don't do the same off-road as I did before. Much more tame (for now).

I'm bringing this back up... I was wondering if these wheels would fit on a 3rd Gen as well? I don't have any doubt they wouldn't. Another thing, Jacal, did you ever figure out a solution to the center caps. From what I understand the Toyota centers are identical. The center caps and fitmet of course are what is stopping me from getting these instead of the spit 5 spoke the tundras have.

Never changed the center caps. I'm ok with the "L". Actually, I'd like to debadge then put a "L" on the rear hatch. But that's just me.
