TRD wheels now available in bronze??? WOW!

[RusPro17]

Too skinny....pinching the bead on those tires=bad wear and darting on the road. 8'' would be better 8.5 best.

That’s what I hate about the TRD wheel is only 7inch. I’m putting SCS wheels on my Pro for that reasons being 8.5 much better look and fit.

even the stock wheels on my trail were 7.5. I kind of like the bronze but the width of these and the fact EVERY OTHER 4Runner I see seems to have some iteration of this wheel led me to go with Method NV's.

Same here! Only reason I am still running them , they were installed when I bought my 4RUNNER at the dealership. I just felt that T4r has bigger problems to solve,like suspension, power. After I’ve done all that, rims is my next mod.

1) you have no idea the use of my vehicle - you’re an ignorant troll
2) flow forming offers a hell of a lot more than just strength. Less material, less grain porosity, less unsprung weight/ rotating mass = ability to increase concavity (aesthetics) and also improve driver feel on or off road.
Please focus on the important things like adding a muffler to your muffler or why your bf’s battery isn’t Panasonic.

Flow-form is a step in the right direction in terms of strength and hopefully lighter weight, but only the barrel of the wheel gets flow-formed. The center is still cast... well the whole wheel is cast and then the barrel is treated with flow-forming. I would've been happier if they kept it cast and changed the width to 8". To Tuco's point, most of us will not challenge the limits of a cast wheel and if we do, we should be looking at forged instead because the same forces that will break a cast wheel will break a flow-formed wheel. It may even be worse because the strongest part of a flow-formed wheel is also the portion most likely to contact rocks and be subjected to side-stress. Instead of the bead area cracking or chunking off, the force will be transferred to the weaker center of the wheel and break the barrel off of the center section.

And I can't force myself to buy a narrower rim than what I already have.

My buddy manages a Discount Tire and he recommended sticking with OEM wheels on the 4Runner. He said he gets lots of 4Runer owners coming back in and asking to replace new wheels with the stock wheels. Is he an idiot?

I love the look of bronze wheels so now with the TRD option I'm getting ready to pull the trigger. Anyone have any issues with non-OEM wheels, as long as you went with a reputable company?

 

[83Mule]

OEM were Enkei.......very high quality, but you can get Enkei's in other styles and be safe I guess.

Just got them installed with 265/70/17 Falken wildpeaks

Such innovation.....

Lol yeah... No one ever did bronze wheels on a 4Runner :rofl:

here's a hint: It's not the wheels....maybe it's the owners:snacker::snacker:

 

[Akkording]

bronze, satin black, gunmetal
OH MY!

 

[Quentin]

Hmm... I wonder how these would look on a barcelona red trail edition. I'd 100% jump on them other than wondering if they would clash with the silver bumper covers. I have my snow tires on the stock wheels at the moment and will mount my stock sized ATs this spring. I was going to do matte grey or gunmetal Pro wheels, but these could look really cool.

 

[Bguerr21]

oh thats HOT!

That does look good i wasn't sure at first the more i look at it the more it grows on me.

 

[runner33]

Just saw this when trying to find a part...so now they have gloss gunmetal and bronze...

Thank you for sharing, these will be my news come spring.

Just ordered a set through a Toyota dealership that's participating in the January FREESHIP deal. For my '08's Driftwood paint, with blacked out trim, I'm hopin' they'll rock when covered with bigger tread after a suspension lift. Free shipping lasts until the end of the month at participating dealers, so the $150 savings beat other matte bronzish rims (Method, Icon, etc.) I was considering.

Also, I like the idea of the 7" width, compared to 8.5 on most others... When living in Wyoming with snow and Spring-thaw mud on trails, a narrower tire with good tread stood a better chance of digging down to hardpan for traction than a wider rim/tire combo.

Did a quick mock-up of my 4th gen with the bronze TRD wheel off the green, dealership 5th gen pictured above. Picturing a 3/2 lift beforehand, me likey...

 

[short21yang]

I totally dig the bronze. To many people has the black and gray ones so did not want to follow the band wagon. Just threw them on this past weekend. Mounted my stock tires on, will be getting a lift and new tires so it would be more aggressive. :frisky:

 

[Gclark949]

What about protection for the valve stem?

Do you think these keep the stem tucked far enough back to prevent it from getting torn off if you rub a rock or something? I have the FN Wheels Konig Six Shooter and my valve stem is very exposed which worries me. I do carry a set of Colby stems for emergency but still.

 

[Tbasse01]

If 2020 come in bronze I will buy instantly bc those wheels look a bit nicer than existing. Not drastic but something about them stands out.

They stand out because they are gross .. you guys can't be seriously loving this color? Don't just want it because it's new and no one has it

 

[Ryance39]

I love them on my Super White
