If you're gonna get new wheels anyway, just get what you like and then use the stock wheels in the winter.

I just saw some TRD knock offs on Ebay for $500 shipped. I would think those would do just fine for a winter set up.
Otherwise I'd just buy some used stock rims from craigslist or the boards here.

Fixed.
Yes.
As regards the OP; "nice" and "cheap" are totally subjective, thus we cannot answer this for you.
I know it's hard but if you were to Google-search you'd find this topic covered ad nauseam.

Yup, if getting steel wheels, Costco.ca is $81.99 shipped (X99154N). The dealer has them here for $90.
I would love to get something a little "nicer", but the price jump is huge and not worth it for me.
I'm planning on ordering them with Blizzaks through Costco in a week or two.

that's the route I took.
I had planned to use my trail wheels over the winter and replace them with Fn wheels in the spring, but honestly the finish on the aluminium rims would probably take a serious beating from the amount of road salt that they'd see. Painted black steelies were my choice. I'll touch them up with a spray can once they're in storage next spring.
Large voids and 6-spoke designs hold a lot of slush and snow which throws the wheel balance off. While this still happens with steel winter rims, they seem more resistant. I dunno. I'd rather spend the wheel budget on quality tires. I've always felt that way.

This is one of my faves! I didn't check the sizing though. You may have to do some research.
Those are awesome! If I was a wealthy mofo, I'd have them put on my buddies' truck as a joke.

SR5 Wheels on Winter Tires
I bought 4 SR5 wheels from fellow member for $400. Keep checking the ad section.

I just ordered 4x 17x7.5 OEM FJ steel wheels from my local dealership. Less than $100 CDN each. It's worth it to me to pay more for OEM over no name steel wheels sold by Costco, Walmart, Canadian tire, etc.

Any chance you got the #part ?
Looks like Part Number: 42611-35330
Same here but on Kijiji.
I prefer having alloys for the winter instead of steel wheels which always seem to get rusty after a few seasons.

True. I bought takeoff FJ steelies, which looked ok at the time. After 3 winters they looked awful. A trip to a truck repair shop got them blasted and painted.
To confirm: that part is appropriate for a 2010 4Runner? It has 17s.
Thanks all,
A.
